The color VHS print I am watching of this episode is absolutely horrible. Is the DVD as bad?
I just checked, and while the color on the DVD is infinitely better than what the color is like in the syndication copy, it's not much better than what's on the VHS. There are strange highlights and red or green outlines from time to time. Chances are something weird happened on the day they shot the ep. But as bad as it is, it isn't as bad as the problems with one of the cameras when it comes to some of the late-'68 eps when the picture often has an odd blue tint to it.
What I actually found odder than the color on the DVD is that after this ep they include the 1795 promo -
despite the fact that the promo clearly says that "This Friday you and Victoria Winters...", whereas the beginning of 1795 was not coming so early. This Ep #336 originally ran on October 9, 1967, and the Friday ep the promo refers to is Ep #365, which didn't originally run until November 17, 1967 - more than a month away.
