Universal added The Sixth Sense to the Night Gallery syndication package to increase the number of episodes. It was never shown on the NBC episodes (in fact it was an hour-long series on ABC). In cutting the episodes down to half-hour two episodes that only had brief appearances from star Gary...
If Mr. Belvedere gets released they would probably stick the unaired episodes (including two from the fifth season) after the two-part series finale which was aired on ABC.
The 9th and 10th DVD seasons of Hawaii Five-0 (2010) finishing up that series. Started watching on the tenth anniversary (9/20/20) and watched one every week since. Half way through the 8th season.

That applies to Ben in the seventh season as well along with the continued appearances and disappearences of Ross Martin in Wild Wild West and Lynda Day George in Mission: Impossible when their characters were supposed to be away on missions. Martin's character even got a welcome-back episode...

I removed all Part 1, Part 2 and 'to be concluded' notices. I replaced the episode titles with
generic Enterprise flybys and...

The first episode filmed for Hogan's Heroes' 5th season (Klink's Escape) was broadcast as the final episode of that season.
The final episode filmed for Bonanza's 8th season (Stage Door Johnnies) was broadcast as the final episode of the...
