Does anyone remember if the episode "Lucy and the Pool Hustler" originally aired on CBS either December 4, 1967 or January 8, 1968?

IMDB lists the air date as 1/8/68 but Wikipedia says 12/4/67. Who's right?

The episode that aired December 4, 1967 was "Lucy and Carol Burnett: Part 1":

Why do you ask?
The DVD set puts this episode before the Carol Burnett episode, and as a result uses the wrong closing logo. The production code for "Pool Hustler" per Wikipedia is 145, and the Carol Burnett two-parter is 146/147, while according to the CBS Syndication Bible, it is given as 152 and the Carol Burnett ones as 149/150, again with the air dates you mention.
