The black-and-white episodes from Season One are now in the public domain, their copyrights having lapsed.

The Complete Second Season was released on July 7, 2009, concluding the black-and-white episodes of the series.

But soon enough, all signs point to murder, Hollywood style, as demonstrated in this special noirish black-and-white episode.

It consisted of 39 black-and-white episodes, each running approximately 25 minutes.

Given that there are 28 black-and-white episodes in Season 1, the show's batting average is solid.

The first season consists of 39 black-and-white, full-screen, half-hour episodes (without ads) recorded on 35mm film.

The TV version premiered on October 19, 1954 and ran for thirty-eight half-hour black-and-white episodes.

The show was filmed in black-and-white, half-hour episodes.

In 2004, the black-and-white episodes and the first episode with the original ending were released.

The color episodes of the show in its later years are markedly different from the black-and-white episodes of the first five seasons.
