The Vault Series DVDs feature not only full Carson episodes but they include the commercials too. There aren't many episodes, and they're not cheap.
It might be that some of the episodes couldn't be restored to respectable quality. Those old 2" quad videotapes are an extinct format and there are only a handful of usable machines and engineers left who know how to keep them in interchange (tuned up). And as the tapes age, even in a climate controlled vault, it gets harder to restore them over time because the magnetic image fades and prints through to adjacent layers on the reel.
I remember those big blue 3M tape cases and the distinctive aroma of a fresh reel of tape. Good times.
