Yeah, I think this was very much an "ABC-thing." I remember reading in a book about Outer Limits where Joe Stefano said that the "suits" at the network wanted the "bear" (monster) to always be shown in the pre-credits teaser to try to "hook" the viewers.

That reminds me that years ago, I saw web forum postings from people complaining about the picture quality on the Sex and the City season one DVD compared to the other seasons, and someone noted that the reason for this was that the first season was shot on 16mm, rather than 35mm stock.

I suppose it's possible that Paramount used (perhaps, unknowingly) a print from one of the network reruns, rather than the initial broadcast? I know it wasn't unusual for networks to shorten the opening title sequences on their reruns. I once had some off-air CBS recordings of Logan's Run. One...

I remember an old Starlog interview with Irwin Allen, where he commented on the color/BW issue. He said that he went to CBS and literally insisted to them that Lost in Space needed to be filmed in color, but the network didn't want to put up the extra money. A year later, the show went to color...

So, Colin, can you remember whether the original narration/title cards are in place? (see post #277)

Let's hope we can all put this to rest now.

What shows have you been watching? I find that there are far more strong, realistic portrayals of women on TV now than during the '60s (or heck, even during the '70s and part of the '80s). The "strong female" is no longer confined to the older/homely/overweight/matronly (i.e. unattractive, or...

Andy "geesh, how can someone take this review so personally?!!!" M.

Maybe he meant to say "first American TV series" to go that route. Remember, The Prisoner was a British production that just happened to be shown on a major American network. Won't ever see the likes of that happening again: nowadays if the networks like a British show, they'll just recast...

Also, don't forget those miserable Worldvision copies (at least, as shown on A&E), ditched the original episode captions and they crudely superimposed new ones over the opening moments of Act 1.Only reason I can see why they did this was, apparently, to eliminate "TONIGHT'S episode" from the...
