What a shame.
The company that transfered these episodes to DVD should be "Branded" for doing such a poor job.

Episodes seem cut and even a part of the end credits is cut from every episode (near credits end).
Bonus episode of Rifleman is cut badly at the point a chicken is killed. More Info About This DVD Actor(s): Chuck Conners DVD Release Date: Released the 24 August 2005 Usually ships in 24 hours
