A Digiview Productions DVD with a c. (copyright) of 2004 shows calls Pearl Bodine "Paula" in the description of the BH ep "Back to Californny"!

PS Not the first time I ran across a Digiview DVD mistake. The same year they made this DVD they put out one for a film called The Dancing Pirate which starred Frank Morgan (The Wizard of Oz himself) and they claimed he was of TV's Mash (they had him mixed up with Harry Morgan who played Col. Potter on Mash)! Wonder if the same Digiview employee made both errors! BTW Buddy Ebsen was of course Jed on the BH series and the original Tin Man in WOO so there's another connection to all this!

Digiview makes a lot of mistakes on the backs of their cases, and sometimes misspells actors' names on the fronts.

I remember seeing the Frank Morgan / Harry Morgan mix-up as well -- but I think they also did that on a different DVD from the one you've mentioned!

Their biggest goof was to release the 1940s L'il Abner black & white film and give the credits on the case to the stars of the much later, color film prodction starring Leslie Parrish...! This misleading error has been noted in reviews at Amazon.com.

Once in a while, their mistakes are to their own detriment. For example, IIRC on the back of the case for the film "Sword of Lancelot" (Cornell Wilde), they state that it's b & w. But it's a color film, and is in color on their release!!

They've made a lot of releases, and to their credit they do not make ill-advised alterations to most of their stuff (though they have had to cut openings and closings to some shows like Ozzie & Harriet and The Lucy Show, strangely, -- other companies leave those intact). Word is out though that Warner has sued them over rights issues, and the end may be coming for Digiview.

I bought that very DVD from Digiview from a store because I wanted to watch beauty Parrish as Daisy! I remember thinking how they messed up. But the WOO/Mash Morgan mistake means more to more people!

Donna Douglas and Leslie Parrish are two of my favorite beauties of their era.

I managed to get my copy of that mislabeled Digiview L'il Abner DVD for the price of 50 cents. So although I was disappointed in not getting to see beautiful Leslie P., having a DVD of the '40s film wasn't a total loss for me. Mediocre transfer quality though.

When most of these public domain companies talk about "digital remastering," you have to laugh. Usually all they do is transfer any old print, warts and all. Sometimes you find gems, though, with good color and sound. I was fairly pleased with the Digiview copy of Heidi (1968, TV). A nicely produced film, by the way.
