Time-Life vs. Columbia question

Alright, first a bit of a story, then my question. Now, as you know, I was just up around the East Coast. While in Massachusetts, I stopped into a Newbury Comics and searched around, and therein I found the 3-ep TMS disc with Diana Ross, Brooke Shields and Rudolf Nureyev. Now, on this disc, the Muppetism is one with Kermit ("Frog in your throat") and the Movie Mania is Fozzie's "From Here To Eternity" bit. Now, according to the review over in "Articles", this disc should include a Piggy Muppetism and a "Dances with Wolves" Movie Mania bit. Now, that concerns the Time-Life discs, and the spine of my disc says it's a Columbia release.

Now my question: Were the features for this disc reversed in the Columbia releases, or do I have a pirated disc?
