I have the DVDs of the first season. The pilot was a two hour TV movie which was later re-edited into Cocoon, a two part episode which aired at the end of the first season. It's on the first DVD as Pilot and shows an air date of 9/20/68. The second episode is Full Fathom Five about a "lethal lothario" and disappearing widows. The third episode is Strangers in Our Own Land, then: 4. Tiger by the Tail 5. Samurai 6. ...And They Painted Daisies on His Coffin (air date 11/7/68) 7. Twenty-Four Karat Kill (air date 11/14/68) Tom -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People! You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TV or Not TV" group.
