That's similar to my reasoning.The feature-length and the fact that I first saw many of the Seventies episodes during random occasional repeats has always made them feel like films to me. Plus the quality of episodes gives it a cinematic flavour. But looking into the scheduling and the regular slot it had for new instalments means the "episode" description works. Still, while I call them "episodes" for convenience, there's a really good argument for calling them films as well. Especially since many of the originals aired under the "Mystery Movie" banner. I wonder what the split is among viewers of the series between calling them "films" and "episodes".</blockquote>
