That website is likely inaccurate. For one, "Gilligan, The Goddess" was produced as the second episode of Season Three but held to air as its last, so it would be highly unusual for that script to contain a list of ideas for Season Four.
Second, I've searched and never found *any* evidence to...
I agree with you. But to answer your initial question, comparing them is the only way to acknowledge how they differ and how they don't. Obviously they're not 100% identical -- that's why a lot of this thread has devolved into the usual "which is better" debate -- but with, at the very least...
I DREAM OF JEANNIE was specifically developed to capitalize on the success of ABC's BEWITCHED and wouldn't exist without it. In fact, NBC and Screen Gems initially asked BEWITCHED creator Sol Saks to create a similar show for the rival network. He declined but Sidney Sheldon agreed and studied...
Are all 38 episodes included or is the set missing "Public Property On Parade," which is the only first season show NOT in the current syndication package?
I don't think it's odd you like the radio series more. Most of Brooks' stories were built on misunderstandings -- Three's Company, but with better grammar. And it's much easier to suspend disbelief for these heightened, silly scenarios without the limitation of visuals.
However, I don't think...
Which one(s) did you watch? There's a big difference in quality between a 1953 episode and a 1955 episode.
I think the first season is great and each year thereafter is a continued descent.
But don't forget, by the time the show moved to TV, they'd been doing it for four years on radio and...
Listings are up on Amazon for Our Miss Brooks. The runtimes -- 850 minutes is both volumes' combined -- suggest that either all 38 episodes from Season One won't be included (there's one from the first year that's excluded from the syndication package) or that they're all edited, about 22:30.
So, are you saying the visual placement of Johnson and Wells' title credits switched randomly during the original broadcasts -- of BOTH color seasons -- and that the DVDs largely settled on one version for Season Two and another for Season Three (with the HD remaster further ensuring that all of...
A little bit confused regarding the various versions of the opening theme. @Robbie^Blackmon, maybe you can help clarify this for me.
Am I correct in believing that the original SECOND SEASON arrangement and recording of the opening theme is used for both Seasons Two and Three on DVD? I do hear...
Same quality and edits as the recent run, it seems. But now I can free up the space on my DVR without having to do any of my own maneuvering to save the episodes. Still a net-plus (as far as I'm concerned).
Lee Grant played Stella Chernak, a woman from the wrong side of the tracks whose brother died in a skirmish with Rodney Harrington (Ryan O'Neal), ol' man Peyton's grandson and the brother of Norman, whose girlfriend had once been in a sexually abusive relationship with Stella's brother. Stella...
It's forgettable; seldom funny. But it's also a seldom-seen '50s comedy.
The value is in its very existence and recent availability -- not its quality.
Actually, there are issues with skipping on several episodes. I pre-ordered from Shout! and got an email this morning saying that they are pushing the wide release back until they completely rectify the situation by finding better masters. They'll eventually be sending replacement discs to those...
Lee Grant debuts in Episode 104 and departs in Episode 199. If the next two releases collectively cover, as with the last two, 64 more episodes, her arc would be far from complete.
The Lucy Show had a few edits, but I believe Here's Lucy, quality of the series itself not withstanding, had plenty of extras and, to my knowledge, no known edits.
My intuition is that Season Three was always a long shot because the Original Broadcast materials, upon which the Blu-ray releases predicated their enhanced value (and indeed, as a super fan, I'd buy the show on any format or platform if it meant being able to see each episode as originally...
I think the debate between That Girl and The Mary Tyler Moore Show over their respective influences isn't actually about the qualifications of the characters (because obviously there'd be progression between the two), but is much broader -- hinged on the the differences between broadcasting...

Very solid series, even during the final season's reformatting. Comparable to The Mary Tyler Moore Show in terms of timbre, but much more a star vehicle than an ensemble piece, and it probably paid the price. Additionally, it was inevitably held up against The Dick Van Dyke Show, and that's...
At the risk of being a shameless self-promoter... I highlighted some of my selections for the most memorable moments of the series here:
