    Mark Quigley is a hero! I've been looking for these shows for thirty years.

    Thank you for what you and your team have done here, Mr. Quigley. I grew up on Insight. It came on super early Sat or Sun morning around 1970. It helped me make sense of the world. Remarkably consistent for an anthology series on a budget. Many of the episodes stay with me to this day. I'll never forget how moved I was when I when first saw one in particular, "Five Without Faces", at 10 or 11 years old. '71 or '72. After they cancelled the show, I spent decades searching for episodes. Paid a king's ransom more than once for poor quality VHS copies when I ran across them. This is a real treasure. Father Keiser would surely be grateful to you. I hope you know you all made a lot of people happy.

    Thank you Mark Quigley! UCLA Library Film & Television Archive is accomplishing amazing work preserving so much iconic television programming, making it available to new generations. I'm convinced artists as well as (young and mature) audiences appreciate the profound effort undertaken. Insight was among my favorite programs, offering more than entertainment. Moral questions are on-going. I've long had an appreciation for history, been to many an archive for family history research. It's in sync with my CSUN college studies - I gave a presentation on Moral Development; the Creative Writing text used by my English Professor, was in fact "Moral Imperatives". I noticed the Archive appears to have expanded and has a satellite location in Santa Clarita. That is very good news. Continued success. You do important work in the name of conservation and preservation. Notably with regard to Insight and UA-cam, not so that restored programs are securely hidden, but viewed, revisited decades later, which is to be applauded.

    I first got on the Internet in 1996 & would occasionally search for INSIGHT. Someone's blog or a comment on IMDB would mention it. The Paulist Productions site would discuss it & then not as much. Amazon had VHS episodes available, then not. An episode would show up on the fledgling UA-cam, then poof!
    Then Hallelujah, one sweet day, the long elusive show I had watched late Sunday nights as a pre-teen & on began to appear on this Channel. INSIGHT was becoming available again... FOR FREE! Thank you!
    The episode that grabbed me "The Death of Superman". The haunting xylophone with woodcuts of souls in anquish being the opening credits- grabbed the classic horror fan that I've also been all my life,
    One other thing- INSIGHT made anothe impression on me, along with Bishop Fulton Sheen & the 1952 Fatima movie, all those combined assisted me in eventually, after decades, joining the Catholic Church in 2019.

    Thank you, Mark Quigley, for all of your efforts which were surely a labor of love. Thanks to you and the good folks of Paulist Productions, the most influential television series of my childhood has been brought back from near-oblivion to enjoy a second wind of popularity which may possibly surpass the level of popularity it enjoyed in its heyday. Words cannot express my gratitude and that of the entire Insight fandom.

    Mark, thank you so much for preserving this classic. And making so many episodes available to us. Every so often, I'd check UA-cam to see if ANY episodes had been uploaded. None ever were. Then one day, a windfall! Often in situations like this, people will exaggerate and say "You're doing God's work," but here it's actually true, in a sense!

    Echoing other's words - Thank you! Insight aired early Sunday morning during my childhood, and I always enjoyed watching it when I awoke early enough to do so. I've watched some of my past favorites here, again, and for whatever you and others did to preserve those, may God bless you.
