Is it true that the following original DVD releases of such shows as Star Trek (The Original Series), Mission: Impossible, The Brady Bunch, Happy Days, Laverne & Shirley, Taxi, Mork & Mindy and Cheers had used single-layer DVD5 and/or DVD9 discs?
For example, I'd say The Brady Bunch and Happy Days used single-layer, single-sided DVD5 discs, whereas such longer-form shows as Star Trek, Mission: Impossible (original 1966) and MacGyver (original 1985) went for either the single-sided DVD9 and (in some cases) one dual-sided DVD18 to house some of the last episodes.
To use another example, season 2 of the classic Mission: Impossible had 25 one-hour episodes, primarily four on a single-sided DVD9, while I think the last five of these went onto a dual-sided DVD18 disc (episodes 21-23 on side 1 and 24-25 on side 2).
