Kudos to the people who worked on this nifty little article! I love the episode guide. KarlBunker 18:14, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Me too. Hey, side note: I found somebody online who is, from the looks of it, selling bootleg "Complete Series" DVDs (which means "don't buy from vintagetvandmovies.com", as they ain't gonna be legal... and maybe it's just me but $60 seems like an awful lot for something that's only a bootleg anyway!), which they claim were compiled from "various sources" for a "Collector's Edition". They were packaging it with a pair of mp3 discs (as if it weren't obvious enough that it was a bootleg? Ha!) of a couple of SF radio shows that used to run on NBC in the 1950s, "Dimension X" and "X Minus One". Which makes me wonder if the TV show really is or was available on DVD or VHS (or laserdisc for that matter), and the radio shows on CD or something, somewhere, even if it isn't in the U.S. Anybody know? 4.235.0.26 14:51, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Huh. You know, actually, now that I look at it their FAQ says that everything they sell is in the public domain (I kind of assumed they were bootlegs when they said you could "buy it without the cases", or that the discs for the radio show were "mp3 format", not to mention the overall sloppiness of the site, which reeks of "we threw this together at the last minute" or "we don't speak fluent English", which while not definitive signs of a bootlegger, certainly don't give the impression of legitimacy in and of themselves). Does this mean the show lapsed into the public domain (entirely possible, at that age if I recall, though it would have to be through somebody failing to file copyright renewals as it's not early enough to have lapsed through simply the copyright running out)? If true, it would be important to note this in the article. 4.235.0.26 15:01, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
