New complete series set question... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

tlc38tlc38 · 04-04-2016, 09:40 PM

I'm thinking about buying the complete series set since amazon has it decently priced.

One question...
I'm aware of edits BUT how bad are the edits?

^According to Sitcoms Online DVD reviews, they can't be too bad because every episode is still 25 to 26 minutes even with music edits. $35 is a great deal, regardless, and I want to buy it soon. I just bought the "Cheers" set.

The shortest is around 23:40. So that isn't too bad.

I haven't seen any episodes of TOC so it'll be new viewing to me.

I may wait til next month to buy it. Maybe amazon will still have it priced low.

^ Yes I bet it will

It's $32 on Amazon

It's $33 on Amazon now.

There's one edit that really guts me and it's from the finale. Since you say you haven't seen any episodes, I won't spoil it but Oscar is happily singing "I'm Singing in the Rain" and that's cut out. It was this great moment in the series that's just gone.

As for the first two seasons, they are pretty much intact. I think maybe a song or two was cut from the second season but as far as I know the first season is uncut. The third season on is where the butchering takes place.

I love this show yet have a hard time watching the DVDs because of the edits, especially the one I mentioned from the finale. But I'm sure watching the edited versions wouldn't stop you from becoming a fan of the show as it's still a hilarious one.

The show is currently running weekly on ME. How are their edits?

Did this set originally come with a cardboard slipcover?

My Gomer Pyle set came with one and I was just wondering if TOC should've, too.

No, none of the ones I bought ever did and I bought them all on release day.

^The reason I ask is because my Gomer Pyle set came with one and I see some TOC sets online that do have a slipcover.

I bought Gomer Pyle at Walmart and I ordered TOC from Amazon.

I just got the complete series set of The Odd Couple and it didn't have a slipcover.

Does anyone have a complete list of all the edits/music replacements?
