Unfortunately these episodes are in B&W, not in color as they were originally broadcast. I keep meaning to order this when I need a few bucks to fill up an Amazon order under $25 to get free postage.
The show is by no means PD. Some companies got ahold of a few black and white prints and are selling them and hoping the Universal doesn't notice or care, which is probably a good bet on their part. But a simple check on the Library of Congress website shows the whole series to be under copyright.

I was wondering how it was possible for a show as recent as 1967 to be public domain but then there are dozens of 1970's tv movies that have showed up in various cheapie dvd releases that are almost exclusively public domain titles.

Again, same thing. They really aren't PD. Just people taking advantage of some laziness on the part of some studios. For instance, Fox owns Metromedia but those shows and movies have been treated as PD because Fox is too stupid to even know that they own the stuff. Unless there is just no copyright notice that was ever put on the film, such as the original version of Night of the Living Dead, something post-1964 can't be PD.

With all due respect you are absolutely incorrect. There are no registrations with the USCO for any episode whatsoever of Pistols N' Petticoats.

Also there are many, many, many, PD films post-1964.

Don't believe what you read on the internet folks. Do your own research as I have.
