Dick Van Dyke Show Blu-Ray Question (1 Viewer)

[moviebuff75]

I watched the second episode of this classic series and the end credits music is practically clipped off by the Paul Brownstein logo. Starting with the third episode, there is more breathing room between the credits and the logo. The dvd of the second episode is not like this. Did they muck up by putting it too close or is it because they went to the original negatives and the film didn't have any film leader at the end?

Practically? Meaning the music didn't actually get clipped, yet you're upset about something?

First, I didn't say I was upset. There's no need to be unkind. It is clipped off at the end. Sorry I didn't realize that I worded it in a way that would be criticized. I just wanted to know why that would have happened. It doesn't fade out all of the way either. No other episodes are like this, which is why I was wondering if there was no film leader. No need to get snippy.

I have no inside knowledge, but my assumption is that it's a human error on that one ep when they added the Brownstein logo.

That's what I thought. I was just wondering because the first episode is very close too. But starting with the third episode there is some breathing room between the actual show and the logo. The dvd version also has room. That's why I was wondering if maybe there was no leader on the negative, or if maybe the CBS eye originally cut into it.
