It will be interesting to see if the music was kept in tact this time around. I never owned the original season 1 release but I heard there we some musical edits resulting losses of full scenes for some episodes. Hopefully that has been corrected.

I've mainly watched the show via syndication (Antenna TV, CMT, my bootleg set) in past years so I may have to keep have to keep my collections if this one is plagued with edits.

Interesting news. I never heard of Evening Shade prior to this year; I was on another Taxi thread (not on this site), and the series was being discussed in relation to Marilu Henner's starring in the show. I never recall seeing it or even hearing about it when it was originally on TV in the early '90's, but that's no surprise since I had started to drift away from watching any TV at that point in time; also, not having cable resulting in having a hard time seeing non-cable shows without snow/fuzzy PQ.

In any case, I may be interested in checking this show out on the new DVD's - we'll see. My understanding is that this is the first time the show has been released in it's entirety on home video; apparently the previous DVD releases stalled before the entire series could be completed.

i have bought the set and know of all the changes from s2-s4 in the dvd versions.

changes in the s2 dvd versions:

like the reviewer on amazon said the teaser/recaps of the 2 part season 2 opener r missing from the dvd versions

ep 6 of s2 on the dvd obviously has some edits

ep 15 has some edits and is missing the teaser of part 2 of the 3 parter.

ep 17 obviously edited running a little over 19 and a half mins and is missing the recap of the 2nd part of this 3 parter.

ep 19 is missing about 32 secs of footage in the dvd version

changes in the s3 dvd versions:

the 2 parter ava takes a shower (both parts r missing the teaser 4 part 2 at the end of part 1 and part 2 is missing the recap of part 1 at the beginning)

another 2 parter that's actually a double ep as 1 hr ep (ep 17) is the syndicated split into 2 parts version.

changes in the s4 dvd version:

seems ep 15 & 16 r syndicated

Just watched the original airing for season 2 episode 17 and I now know why it only runs 19 minutes. There was a lot of musics that VEI clearly wasn't able to get the rights to. First song was Baby I Need Your Loving and the second was Chapel of Love. I have not watched the DVD version yet but I can only assume that these songs are the reason the episode runs shorter than usual.
