I hate to do this when you have uploaded so many eps of the series but this is not strictly true.

All 38 episodes of this series carry a valid copyright notice and were timely renewed by Ziv Television's parent company, United Artists, in 1987 and 88. The theme music was also renewed.

In total 1641 of "Ziv Television Programs, Inc's" productions were timely renewed and a further 541 from after their merger with UA, "Ziv-United Artists, Inc".

That's what I was thinking, since I knew that ZIV TV was sold to or swallowed up by UA around 1960-ish. And that would include everything produced by ZIV, unless it didn't have a valid copyright notice in the first place. Which may or may not explain that one Science Fiction Theatre episode released in a PD collection by TV Guide/Genius a few years ago. (The SFT episode title is "The Strange Lodger", and if that's still under copyright, then TV Guide did a no-no!)

Most of their 50s originating series have the odd episode that's PD. There are a couple of "Bat Masterson", "Martin Kane", "Corliss Archer", and the first 2 seasons of "Cisco Kid" that weren't renewed. And a few other random examples.

It's been the DVD age, where the one or two episodes per tape standard of the vhs age is just not good enough, that's lead to the 10 disc entire series DVDR sets of these shows from bootleggers on Amazon, etc.

Let's ignore that until I've downloaded them all.
