My Hogan's Heroes season 1 DVD set also has the first two discs numbered out of order!Just watched episode one and two of Ben Casey. What a great series just as good as ever.
Episode 1: Looks very good overall. Slightly jumpy at times. I’ll assume these are the old transfers but complete.
Definitely not timesped.
Audio good but a little muffled or swimmy at times.
Bumper into the breaks are retained.
Full closing credits audio but the Bing Crosby logo is covered by the CBS distribution logo. Music continued to end.
Episode 2: Overall good but shakier video especially the closing credits. Good news is this one keeps the Crosby close including the ABC-AMA credit followed by the CBS credit. Not timesped.
I skimmed three and four. Three covers thr Crosby logo with CBS and fades the audio early. Four keeps the Crosby logo but not the ABC-AMA and fades the audio. So different people must have handled different episodes. Still happy to have this.
Run times for disc one:
Episode 1: 50:27
Episode 2: 50:19
Episode 3: 50:30
Episode 4: 50:14
One note — FYI the discs in my copy of volume one were out of order. Discs 2 and 4 on the left and 3 and 1 on the right.

However the case was loaded the discs were just put in randomly. They’re marked correctly but not loaded in order.Why would the discs be out of order on this first-season, first-volume Ben Casey MOD?

I wouldn't count The Millionaire as a 60's shows. The others aren't major shows in that they didn't go multiple seasons. I'm thinking in terms of shows that went multipe seasons such as The Beverly Hillbillies. Not to negate your hopes to see those released as I'm always happy to see someone's grail show released even if it isn't one of my favorites.The Millionaire (1955-1960)

I meant that the episodes themselves were not out of order, just the disc numbers are.They’re not numbered out of order. They’re in the case out of order.

A simple misprint.What I'd like to know about that is, why would the discs be arranged out of order?

Actually Amazon has now changed the descriptions of the two Gunsmoke seasons which now appear to be 6 DVD sets - one for each season selling for $35 . Not bad !. Bonanza season 10 remains two separate volumes .Actually I was asking a question . I hope they are factory pressed discs , but I'll be buying either way , just as I will with Ben Casey , and Our Miss Brooks and any other vintage B&W or color show . What threw me was that CBS is releasing two seasons at the same time , something I don't recall them doing before for any older show, so I figured they may be released as part of the MOD program. But I don't know . If they are regular DVDs , that would mean that they were putting 4 Gunsmoke releases ( vol.1 and vol. 2 for each season) into the marketplace all at once plus two Bonanza sets . That's great for me !
But lamentations aside, I hope these shows sell well enough for CBS to invest in some even rarer classics, like December Bride, Pete and Gladys, Whirlybirds, Sheriff of Cochise etc.
