On the 90-minute pilot episode, it originally had the same yellow-background Paramount Television "Split Box" logo with the Closet Killer music... like you'd see on two episodes of Mission: Impossible's fourth season, and one episode of Mannix's third season, not to mention at the end of other...
Again, except for "Where No Man Has Gone Before" regarding the 1999 and 2003 DVD sets.
I had been told years back that "The Enemy Within" was the first episode to use the new Steiner cello version, but "Mudd's Women" and two other episodes afterward had the older electric violin version, which...
"Charlie X" was the last of two episodes of the original (TOS) 'Trek to have the early incarnation of Shatner's opening narrative. The first one was "Man Trap," which I believe when originally on NBC had used the same opening and closing themes as the unreleased pilot version of "Where No Man...

Right, not just this but I also hope that the handful of the NBC color episodes of Wagon Train (during season 5, the last season for NBC) will be restored in color and in HD, too.

Both of these are examples of how episodes should be divided per disc with respect to picture quality, especially in the case of Dan August which, if correctly assembled, would be on eight discs.

Speaking of game shows, what I want of them on DVD are...
Jeopardy! (NBC, original Art Fleming version, 1964-75)
Jeopardy! (syndicated, original Art Fleming version, 1974-75)
The All-New Jeopardy! (NBC, 1978-79)
The (New) Price is Right (CBS, 1972-90)
Wheel of Fortune (NBC, Chuck Woolery & Susan...
Last week:
I watched my new copy of Wally Gator (Hanna-Barbera/Warner Archive) to continue where my old copy broke down...
Disc 1:
13. Which is Which Witch? (11/26/62)
14. Pen-Striped Suit (12/3/62)
15. Ship-Shape Escape (12/10/62)
16. Semi Seminole (12/17/62)
17. Little Red Riding Gator...
The problem with the NBC run of Jeopardy! is that out of 2,753 episodes produced from 1964-1975, plus a once-weekly primetime syndication run of about 52 episodes during the same final NBC season of 1974-1975 and a 108-episode revival on the Peacock Network for the 1978-1979 season, less than...
How I wish there would be more of these 90-minute/2-hour TV movies out on DVD, but different companies hold rights to them depending on the studio who made them.
For example, Paramount Home Video would release these:
Seven in Darkness (9/23/69) - first ABC Movie of the Week ever shown, in lieu...
I would guess they had cut corners on those first three box sets. All of them spanned 39 half-hours, and all three of these DVD sets were single releases with five discs.

Finished the first disc of Paw Paws...
1.8 - The Golden Falcon (November 3, 1985)
1.9 - Honey of a Robbery (November 10, 1985)
1.10 - Tot 'em Termi Nation (November 17, 1985)

Right, because these 16, along with the previous 24, were all re-packaged for syndication under the title The Scooby-Doo Show, starting in 1980. The original master prints were never found for the first 16 episodes when The Scooby-Doo/Dynomutt Hour came out on DVD in 2006, and neither were the...
The Scooby-Doo Show? You did get it right about it being rather confusing, so here is how to break down when each of the 40 episodes were originally ran on ABC:
Episodes 1 to 16 were originally part of The Scooby-Doo/Dynomutt Hour/Show (September 11, 1976 to September 3, 1977). Originally...
would be the original 20th Television Fox logo.
Season 4 switched to the same logo but with the same jingle heard under the 1990s 20th Television logo.

Watching right now: disc two of Sealab 2020 (Hanna-Barbera, 1972)
Episodes on this disc:
9. "The Deepest Dive" (November 4, 1972)
The crew of Sealab are testing a new submersible vehicle called the "Crystal Ball," which is made mostly out of glass and is supposed to be better than conventional...
Sealab 2020 (Hanna-Barbera, 1972)
I've never heard of this series until Cartoon Network ran a Boomerang mini-marathon of cartoons by year, between 2000-2003. It later spawned the Adult Swim sequel, Sealab 2021.
Disc One:
1.1 - "Deep Threat" (September 9, 1972)
Radiation is released into the...
Disc two of The Roman Holidays (Hanna-Barbera, 1972), containing the last four episodes:
10. "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Chariot Wash" (11/11/1972, 58-10)
Synopsis: Mr. Tycoonius orders Gus to get his prized racing chariot washed, but the chariot is destroyed before Gus can return...
Yes, this issue bothers me about them, too!
The original way the closing credits ended on all season six and seven episodes was like this...
Long closing theme (first part)
(Final commercial break)
Shorter closing theme (second part)
