12181802 0 Posted September 15, 2006 I posted this on startrek.com to so I will post the original question from there and a response I got from it to here. I have the first season of TOS on DVD. At the end of the credits it will says Desilu I think with a copyright date of 1978. Did they put the first air episodes on dvds or copies? I dont understand why the 1978 would be on there. Thanks RESPONSE I checked mine, they don't give a copyright date after Desilu. Even if it did it can't be 1978, Desilu was taken over by Paramount Pictures in 1968. Any copyright from then on would therefore say Paramount Pictures. MY RESPONSE After the credits it says Desilu (in big letters and in the center) © 1978 Paramount Pictures Corporation (smaller font) After that the today's Paramount mountain. The season of is number 1. The box set is yellow captian uniform color. Back to my orignal intent of my question. Are these episodes the first run or first to air episodes? Or copies from the syndication? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrPsychic 1 Posted September 16, 2006 What I'm thinking is that's when the original copywrite ran out, so Paramount renewed it. You'll find that alot in older books and movies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
