In 1959, Goodson-Todman Productions began using reel-to-reel videotape, a new product from the Ampex company, to prerecord episodes so Goodson-Todman Productions could stockpile them for vacations that their employees and the show's performers could take in the future. The company reused the same Ampex videotapes over and over. The company used color videotape in 1966 so everyone could take the usual vacation for Christmas and New Years now that the series was in color. The company continued to pay CBS to make black-and-white kinescopes of the prerecorded episodes as well as the live ones. Ampex videotape was too expensive to use as a permanent record of a broadcast. Its most important use was to allow people who worked on weekly game shows to take vacations in the summer and for Christmas and New Years Eve. The series finale on September 3, 1967, which aired live, was the first time the performers and crew worked together after a long summer vacation.
