Yes, that's what I've found too. This document lists the titles of the scripts. I've found synopses and cast for most of them that I'm typing up for @slick jones . There appear to be kinescopes of the episodes available to view at the Library and Archives Canada.

Thanks for so many articles @jam6242

The show itself doesn't sound very interesting, but I still wish an episode or two was around so we could judge.

I felt so sorry for that writer, Paul Wayne, who talked about his increasing migraines and how his pills weren't working anymore. I hope he got through...
