Rec'd mine.....excellent quality in both audio and video. It's apparent though, that they used network "re-run" prints as the copyright dates on most or all are 1968, plus there are some minor edits during a couple of the curtain calls. One of which is where Jackie reminds everyone to "watch the Super Bowl tomorrow on my favorite network, the Columbia Broadcasting System, it's gonna be something else!". Naturally, if this episode was broadcast the following season at a different time of the year, CBS would cut it out. That is the version we see here. One interesting note: During the opening Glea Girls announcements of "Riffifi, Brooklyn Style", they announce and show the companies that are sponsoring that night. One is Marlboro cigarettes and the other a vacuum company, Hoover I believe. I thought maybe they may have left all the ads in, but they didn't. The end of "King Of The Castle" goes directly from the fade-out of the final scene to the credits, no curtain call at all, just as it aired when the "Trip-To-Europe" shows were briefly syndicated (in which "King Of The Castle" was included) back in the 80's and when Goodlife (American Life TV) aired it. Overall, a very good collection with fine quality.
