Note that No. 1004 is missing. 1004 would be the designation for episode 4 of season 1, the title of which is "Mark of the Octopus", according to IMDb.

Furthermore, this is the only episode of the series that is sold by a certain well-known distributor of public-domain movies and television shows (A.V.).
