...I know that the episode that became the pilot for THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW is on it. But, is it unedited? Because I heard that, when the episode's shown in sydnication, there's parts cut out.
(one of the cut scenes is on youtube, B.T.W.)

Unfortunately, it is edited like all the other episodes on the set. The sixth season is being released uncut however and if that sells well we should be getting the pilot uncut on the seventh season set.

Why did they start with season 5 on dvd and not 1?

some explained why in another post-it's because Danny didn't want the first 4 seasons to be seen again; I forget why. So his family's fullfilling his wish.

Two reasons why they started with the fifth: the show never became a big hit until it moved to CBS for its fifth season, so those episodes are the most familiar to viewers (the cast was a little different in the earlier seasons). Also, Jean Hagen, who played Danny's first wife, had a small percentage of ownership in the early episodes, so if they syndicate or release the episodes in which she appears, they'll have to share the revenues with her estate.
