LOL, I wrote that over a year ago and they are still "close to release". I will have to pick that project up again soon, it's time consuming and probably mainly of interest to just me but it's my duty as a Fosterphile

In the meantime... courtesy of the guys at a.b.m.thelostmovies, here's one of her earliest TV appearances, at about the age of six, on the Doris Day show (originally aired 25 Mar 1969). Doris is called upon to babysit the son and three daughters of a friend who is at the hospital having another baby. Jodie is the next-to-youngest kid. She appears a few times, though not for very long, and hasn't yet developed the personality and style that makes her so endearing later. But it's interesting to see her so much younger than in her movies.

As stale as most TV seems today, the Doris Day show is proof it wasn't as good back then as you might remember from your childhood This episode is interesting, though, for a few 1960s moments. For example, Doris has car trouble and flags down a car which happens be driven by the town drunk, completely inebriated. He explains "I didn't promise the sheriff I wouldn't drink then drive, I promised him I wouldn't drink while driving." Cue the laugh track. You wouldn't see this today, certainly. Also unlikely to be seen today, is a surprisingly-OT scene where Doris gives the youngest girl a bubble bath. (Not Jodie, obviously, just a little bonus.)

Entranced by her mandolin playing, Caine accompanies little Jodie Foster (as Alethea Patricia Ingram) to a waiting stagecoach. When the coach arrives, an unwelcome gunfight results in Ms. Foster mistakenly believing she sees Caine shoot an innocent man to death. Foster's testimony results in Caine being convicted as a murderer.

Of note is that Jodie sings in this episode. She has a good enough voice that in her teens she recorded and released a record in France.

I have no idea if any of the German speakers at FLM are Jodie fans, but here's a German dubbed version I found before I was able to find the original. In my opinion the dubbing ruins it -- I Jodie's preteen/teen voice -- but you can hear the difference during the song she sings, which is not overdubbed.
