OK... got a question. How would you go about this? According to the case and menus there is 5 bonus episodes of the Six Million Dollar Man. But one of the bonus episodes is really the pilot episode of The Bionic Woman.

HERE the company even noted the mistake themselves but said it was too late to fix the case before they went out...

Quote:
Time-Life DVDs have discovered that this "syndicated version" thing truly isn't the case, and that the episode will be on the DVDs EXACTLY as broadcast, Time-Life is adjusting their liner notes on the upcoming DVD set. The key will be this line:

      Although many believed that "Welcome Home Jamie - Part I" was originally intended to air as an episode of The Six Million Dollar Man on January 11, 1976, research for the DVD release revealed that the episode most likely aired as the premiere episode of The Bionic Woman instead, on January 14, 1976.

This wording has been shared with (and agreed upon, we understand) with Universal Studios Home Entertainment, but unfortunately it's too late in the production process for Universal's The Bionic Woman - Season 1 DVDs to undergo any changes, since they are already moving in the direction of the stores for a street date of October 19th. However, Time-Life has a little more time on their hands, and will be able to include this liner notes change on their November 23rd release of The Six Million Dollar Man - The Complete Series.

Bold is what was discovered to be true.. italic is where Universal said it was too late to correct the set before going out.

So the case and the menus call the pilot episode a bonus Six Million Dollar Man episode. All the bonus episodes are on disc 1 for viewing order.

Now... the case doesn't show any numbering... Disc 1 what is considered the bonus episodes (including the actual pilot of the series) is not numbered. But starting with disc 2 they numbered the episodes starting with #1 on episode 2.

Now I think I know how I will be doing this for my local (Numbering all 18 (starting with the bonus episodes) 1-18. But this wouldn't be per rules.

I am thinking per Rules we just couldn't have a number for the actual pilot episode and start with #1 for episode #2.

I can't seem to find it now... but I thought there was a rule that when you can prove the case/menus wrong you can correct that info. I know we do it for specifics on the case all the time. (Running time, regions and such).

So am I right in thinking this...

I am thinking per Rules we just couldn't have a number for the actual pilot episode and start with #1 for episode #2.

or what? How would you handle the numbering of episodes on this set?

Again the only place you see numbering is on discs 2-4 on the menus of the set. Cover images shows no numbering of episodes at all.

If we are correct... numbering wise I think that is the only way the rules allow now.

With the rule that says...

Do not list actors and crew who appear only in special features, or whose scenes were deleted from the main feature, even if they appear in special features.

The Six Million Dollar Man episodes wouldn't even get cast and crew lists.... The more I think about this the more complicated this set gets.

I think I personally will just go my own way locally only. And I have no idea how it should be online!

As I am the the one who contributed Cast and Crew, etc. for this set prompting this topic, I will bypass my usual "say nothing in the forums" rule and risk the possible negative comments that I try to avoid here. 

It truly is a sad state of affairs when contributors are made to feel this way.

agreed... I don't have a preference in this debate, but I would like to thank dgnagy for contributing despite his obvious concerns for the environment here. Sometimes it's not the loudest, but the silent contributes that make the program great.

Thanks!

It is listed in bonus features... with all the other bonus features (gag reel, featurette and such) on the box.
