@slick jones @Paul Raven

Do you know whether True Story and My True Story were the same series?  Some of the newspapers have a synopsis for a particular episode listed for True Story, while another will list it for My True Story.  For example, there is an episode called, Still Hunt, starring Kathleen Murray, which is listed under both titles.  I found that IMDb has that episode listed for her under True Story.
