This film print is from 1975, however the film stock of the VoD logo is dated 1979, meaning this print originally had Viacom’s 1971 logo, the “Pinball” logo, but it was eventually spliced out.
It would be interesting to know just how many times this film aired on local TV. Looks like it was spliced together in a few spots. At least the VOD still some blue in it.
Mark's Journey Many, many times. The 2 splices in the opening intro we’re done by me because those portions I spliced out had film perforation damage, and there’s no way I could have fixed that, that I know of. I had to go through and fix every splice because they were all damaged.

At 1:50, you can see the splicing between the end of the episode and the V of Doom (If i'm correct about splicing films)
I love the scratchy film and leader countdown. Reminds me of those old film reels that we used to watch in grade school.
16 millimeter ain't what it used to be... :)
The color has faded a bit.

What was at 0:12? Some lady's pic flashes on the film. Who was it and why there?
Those are known as china girls. Labs use those during film processing to help calibrate the image.
You-know-who is back stealing videos again. He now goes by Bob Minion, and his profile picture is a Minion.
