I am SO glad to find your post! I received the Lotsa Luck set a few days ago and my husband and I were so happy it came out since one of our very very favorite episodes of any shows is the one you mention. We remembered it being the first episode and it did indeed involve Olive receiving a toilet for a present, BUT when we popped the first disc in and the first episode is indeed titled 'Olive's Present' it is an episode that has nothing at all to do with any present for Olive, the episode isntead is about Mom, Olive and Arthur getting the flu!

We've watched all episodes in the set hoping that maybe it had gotten switched with another by accident but WOE, WOE, WOE, it is NOT in the set!

At first we thought well maybe since it was that many years ago we got it mixed up and it was another program, but thanks to your post now we're SURE we were right, but what can anyone do about it? I can't believe it, while we wanted to see the whole show we ESPECIALLY wanted to see that ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

I've contacted Arny at Smore Entertainment, he acknowledges that the toilet/gift episode is NOT on the dvds and says he is trying to obtain a copy of it to make it available. He said to check back at http://www.smoreent.com/ from time to time to see if they've posted any info about it. To date they haven't, so maybe some more people sending a nice little email about it might help it along?

An incorrect pilot episode was put on the set. You can get a replacement disc for free to get the correct pilot episode. More info:

I purchased the set and the pilot episode was indeed "Olive's Present," while the episode listed officially as "Olive's Present" is the episode that should be titled "The Family Flu." I have two questions:

1) When did "The Family Flu" air? Nobody can seem to pinpoint an air date. "The Winning Purse" aired on Friday 10/19/73 (outside of the usual Monday time slot); is it possible this episode aired on a Friday as well? Did it ever air?

2) Since my set had the correct pilot, what episode was included as the pilot in the original pressing of this set?

Lotsa Luck was actually a remake of an English TV show about a bus driver and his family called "On the busses"!
