Guys,
My question is, if DVD sitcomes are supposed to be uncut, why do some of the older sitcoms have a quick "fade to black" as if something is missing on the DVD version when it shouldn't be that way? I have episodes of Gilligan's Island and The Munsters on DVD that run at least 25 minutes on average, but every so often, you will still see a quick fade to black, where the screen goes black and comes back out. This is true on both versions of The Munsters and Gilligan's Island. However, sitcomes such as All in the Familiy, although content was cut in syndication and by TV Land, never used the quick "fade to black" and new sitcomes never do. What is the reason for this?
