I am so happy that the later episodes are edited. Not because I like edited episodes of course. I don't get FamilyNet in my area and it upset me because the only episodes I had of the series came from TV Land which edited them so I wanted to change providers to make a better set. I am so glad I didn't because I would have paid a fortune for 3 and a half seasons (2 of them already released on DVD) of unedited episodes. No thanks! If FamilyNet ever gets the entire series unedited then I may consider changing providers but it is not worth it if I am going to get mostly edited episodes. Season 1 and 2 are completely unedited on DVD and season 3 has a few unedited episodes mixed in with season 2 on the DVD sets released before Mill Creek.

Looks like my complete series set does not look that bad anymore. It would have been great if FamilyNet could get these all unedited like they did with Archie Bunker's Place. I hear only a few episodes were edited in that syndication package they had.

It's getting a little annoying that we get a couple of episodes into Season 6 and it's back to the beginning again.

Come on, guys.

So, FamilyNet does not air these uncut? Too bad, because I would love a "homemade set" of the remaining seasons uncut.

FamilyNet airs season 1-3 fully uncut. Season 4 is aired with 4 or 5 uncut episodes then the rest of the season is the edited 22 minute episodes with the short 30 second opening and no tag scene.

FamilyNet also does not have the rights to the entire series because they are a few episodes from season 6 then goes right back to season 1. They do not have season 7 at all. Thank goodness TV Land aired season 7 because that was the last time episodes from this season were aired. I got my hands on a set that was missing 2 episodes so I have season 7 in my collection of Benson episodes.
