Finally Own Every Episode Unedited - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

After years of collecting this show on DVD I finally own it unedited. About 9 years ago I obtained the set created by a trader named Joker and it is still one of the best ones out there. Seasons 2 and 3 were edited for syndication versions though. It's not a big deal but when I recently came across these unedited seasons from another source, I realized how amazing it is to have this underrated series completely uncut.

Just to give credit where credit is due, the Joker set is hands down one of the best jobs done for a homemade DVD set of a classic series. The menus, crystal quality and chapter breaks are amazing.

I think I have the same set, from Ioffer a few years back. Season 4 even had the original bumpers, totally unedited episodes, taken from the old MeTV/Chicago. But then they spoiled the set by jamming too many episodes onto a DVD, causing quality issues and mismatched audio at times. As you say seasons 2 and 3 are the syndication cuts, taken from a different source.

It's still a quantum leap from what used to be available, based on someone's really subpar VHS recordings.
