Well I get to "The Prowler" which is also seen in beautiful but edited color on the first shout set. On The Mill Creek set "The Prowler" is totally unedited with the original commercials, two of which are in color! But the episode is not......which asks the question......wouldn't the station been provided with a complete black & white film if it couldn't broadcast in color? and if it could, why wouldn't the "O&H" episode be in color? Lastly since both episodes appear on the mill creek and authorized shout sets, it adds more to the theory that most likely all 435 episodes are in the public domain.....alright experts weigh in....we've been too quiet lately.....lastly I hopefully will soon proudly have a picture of the "Ozzie Nelson Drive" street sign as my avatar which explained in another thread is really a street dedicated to OZ in Ridgefield Park, NJ which I live 5 minutes from!

The Mill Creek set is really quite good, and well abv the avg DVD O&H set - the only set I've seen that's nicer is the Shout! set. Can hardly wait to see your new av!
