I forgot to mention this the other day - and I think that somewhere along the way we may have mentioned this before - but it's a bit odd that on DVD Collection 4, disc 1 the 1795 teaser promo (that on Friday we'll begin a strange and terrifying journey to the past to learn about the secret of the chained coffin) is sandwiched between Eps #336 and #337 when those eps originally ran in October of 1967 and the Friday ep in question, Ep #365, didn't originally air until November 17th. It's not like that promo ran in October - it ran the week of November 13-17. One might think it would have appeared on that same collection's disc 4 because that's the disc that includes Eps #361 through #365. But no. Though I'm sure there had to be some reason they included it so early. And, of course, it's much better to have it early than not at all. Though the promo is also an extra elsewhere on the DVDs, but at this point I've forgotten which one and I'm too lazy to track it down...
Something else that's interesting with regard to Ep #336 is that Alexandra Moltke does the voiceover for the DCP copyright at the end of the credits. I wonder if that was because Ep #336 was taped during the NABET strike and the announcer who normally did it refused to cross the picket lines (like actors like Robert Gerringer and Daniel Keyes refused to do and DC replaced them). Many eps taped during the NABET strike have no copyright voiceover, but Ep #338 also has Alexandra doing it. However, she appears in both Ep #336 and #338 and we all know how DC would have balked at paying her for copyright voiceovers in eps she wasn't in because that's why the show switched from having her do all the opening voiceovers and to having an actor actually in the eps doing them, so that's the very likely reason why Alexandra only does those two eps. Though why the copyright voiceovers in the eps with none weren't done by one of the actors in those eps, just like one of them did the opening voiceovers, is anyone's guess. But so often there's no logic to DC's behavior...
