Broadcasting For different reasons, both producing networks do not own the original media of the 185 episodes in their archives. While TV Globo owns only the first episode on its collection (while the rest of the episodes were lost on a fire in 1976), TV Cultura owns an unknown number of episodes in its collection in unknown states of preservation (due to economic reasons, as well as poor preservation conditions, the tapes in the latter's collection are not digitized).
Meanwhile, private collectors have a number of preserved and archived episodes. For example, the researcher Gabriel Yudenich which owns at least seven episodes, including the first and the last.
Reruns The telenovela began being reran on the afternoon while it was running between 24 August 1971 and 19 May 1972, replacing A Pequena Órfã and being replaced by O Primeiro Amor.
It was reran by TVE in 1977.
