YouTube also has the complete opening of the show from when Winston was the sponsor, and similarly the uncut closing credits. There's even an ad for Alka-Seltzer.
As always, we stand on the shoulders of giants: thanks to Mark Evanier's news from me for bringing this to my attention. Mark's blog reads good, like the (clap clap) internet should!
