Whither Max Bickford?

The Education of Max Bickford was a show on CBS for one season (http://epguides.com/EducationofMaxBickford/). I am using some of its episodes in my new course.

I googled to find someone who had taped them, a professor at Alfred University. I wondered why it tanked. Here is some commentary on that issue: http://slate.msn.com/id/117119/ .
