Adam-12 Season 4 bonus content?

During season 4 of Adam-12, there was an episode where Malloy and Reed made an arrest, with the prosecution of the suspect continued on a episode of the short lived Adam-12 spinoff, 'The D.A.". This would make an excellent bonus to be included since it continues the story of one of the season 4 episodes and might be the only chance many recent fans of classic Mark VII shows like Adam-12 might have to see some of this short lived series.

Also, there was several Adam-12 crossovers on Dragnet, with the most prominant one being a 1968 episode of Dragnet entitled "Internal Affair-DR-20", with Pete Malloy and Jim Reed appearing in their Adam-12 roles. Would make for a interesting bonus episode in a future Adam-12 set, especially with Dragnet not having seen a release since season 1 of the 1960s Dragnet was released in 2005.

While I can't speak to the Dragnet suggestion, I can say that I've already asked Shout! about the cross-over with "The D.A.".  The response I was given was that they looked for the masters for that episode, and they could not be found. So unfortunately there's no way to include the "D.A." episode on Adam-12 Season 4.

Translation: There are no tape transfers that exist for the show and Shout (understandably) didn't want to pay the $5000 that Universal charges to transfer a half hour show.
