Last night I ran across my copy of the episode "Ben?Her?" that I had taped from an original broadcast airing. I was curious to compare the original one hour broadcast version to the two-part version on the Season Two DVD set. I was surprised to see in the last scene of Part 1 on the DVD set, there was a portion that was cut out. On the DVD, Will and Jack are talking in Will's law office and the dialogue goes like this:

Will: But Jack, you've got to be more reasonable in your demands.

Jack: I-I know it was a little excessive, but then just get me enough for the essentials, okay, like food, clothing, and bikini waxes.

On the original broadcast version, the dialogue goes like this:

Will: But Jack, you've got to be more reasonable in your demands. You can't, for instance, ask for all of Karen's camisoles. Why do you want them anyway?

Jack: For Halloween. Me and twelve of my gym buddies want to go as an East-side brothel.

Will: And you'll never get this amount of money.

Jack: Well, I-I know it was a little excessive, but then just get me enough for the essentials, okay, like food, clothing, and bikini waxes.

I wonder what other cuts there are on the set? I guess this is why the set was promoted as "Season Two" and not "The Complete 2nd Season." I'm majorly disappointed. I was going to tape over my original broadcast airings that I have, but I guess I won't now.

Oh - thanks for pointing that out!
It's daft how the TV version has more than on the DVD!

This is another reason I'm not buying it until they come out with what they promised us.

i read ur thing, on my dvd i have wot u said was the original airing. anyways who else thinks that Karen and Jack like totally rule?
i love em they r the best and the show shud b called Jack & Karen!!!
hehehe
