Does anyone know if these are all COMPLETE and UNCUT episodes? They seem to be. I have several bootleg sets and these (the official DVDs) seem complete, but I can't be sure. Any input is appreciated. Thanks.

No, they are edited in places.

Two episodes that spring to mind are:

Blood is Thicker Than Junk - Fred's first encounter with Norman is shortened by about 2 minutes and change. Contrary to internet lore, the Columbia House version is edited, too, in the same place.

This Little TV Went to Market - Episode starts in progress, may be trimmed further in as well.

There are other trims like the airline and accommodation announcements after "Hawaiian Connection" and the end credits film is never allowed to play out completely ever (as it did once or twice on the network) as it is often plastered with syndicated copyright info retroactively added in 1977.

No music edits that I know of off hand, at least!

Thanks for letting me know. Now I can take it off my DVD purchase list

Sony is the worst

Any reason why they are edited?

Do they honestly think people wanna see edited stuff?

One of the biggest scams of all time. Selling eps you already seen in reruns and not tell you:lol:
