3500 Paul Rhymer scripts?

Ever since I have been a fan of Vic and Sade, I have read over and over and in many places that there are "about" 3500 scripts Paul Rhymer had written for Vic and Sade.

The number was probably closer to 2600-2700 and that's only if you count the two television series, something we know virtually nothing about in terms of series run.

A look at J. David Goldin's collection, especially when you look near the end of Series One (September 26, 1944, for example) - he has this labeled as program #2597.  It is safe to assume all the program #'s he's recorded on the WWW were taken directly from the original discs.

Series Two and Three and the subsequent TV series probably didn't add up to 75 or so shows, total.

Many of the first 2600 shows were basically re-used scripts.  A good guess is there are at least 50 re-used scripts, although we only can prove 10 or so of those.

Use your own math.  There's virtually no way that there are 3500 scripts, no matter how you count them.
