OVERALL: Draw

Both versions are cropped.

GENERAL NOTES:
The miniseries was shot and finished on 35mm film. The original aspect ratio is 1.33:1 but rights owners MGM struck HD masters in both 1.33:1 and 1.78:1; the former was available on some streaming services while the latter was chosen for the DVD releases despite framing issues (the credits sequences are pillarboxed at 1.33:1 even in the widescreen versions). The HD masters also suffer from a lack of day-for-night tinging.

The pilot episode was released on VHS in an expanded version running approximately 105 minutes. The version on disc represents the original broadcast length.

Episodes two and three were originally shown as one extended episode; as such, episode two includes teleplay credits for "hour one" and "hour two" and full credits for both episodes while episode three includes the main credits sequence but no episode specific-credits.

CUTS:

• R0 United Kingdom- MGM Home Entertainment - No cuts.
• R1 The Complete Series America- MGM Home Entertainment - No cuts - the pilot is the original broadcast version rather than the expanded version released on VHS.
