For those who want a complete LBH collection, from www.videobusiness.com/article/CA6300056.html. Emphasis below added. The Time Tunnel: Vol. 1 By Ed Grant 1/16/2006
Fox, four discs, color, NR, 12½ hours plus supplements, Dolby Digital mono, fullscreen, Street: Jan. 24, $39.98; First Run: ABC-TV, 1966
The heroes of this cult 1966-67 science-fiction series were catapulted into a different historical situation each week, courtesy of a super-secret government experiment in time travel. Thus Time Tunnel was as ambitious as an anthology series and as coy as the most speculative fiction, with stars James Darren and Robert Colbert attempting to change the course of disasters as disparate as Little Big Horn and the sinking of the Titanic. The show has maintained a strong following since its brief time on the air, and fans should be very pleased with the extras included here. Present-day interviews are lacking, but there are several photo galleries as well as high-energy radio and TV promotional spots. The two standout bonuses are Irwin Allen's home movies from the set and a previously unreleased, slightly longer version of the pilot episode, which contains an imaginative alternate ending in which our heroes are faced with an angry dinosaur.
