VCRs weren't all that great back then were they? The TMO wouldn't have any jurisdiction over this video and Merv Griffin Enterpises (if they still exist) probably doesn't care. My bet the original 2" tapes were probably erased within a few weeks or days for reuse (companies didn't do much archiving back then). Probably no copyright renewed on the show but Disney screwed the public again with the DMCA or we would have a lot of great stuff public domain.
