Has anyone discovered that episodes were EDITED after buying a DVD? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I have heard people say that episodes were edited on the Punky Brewster DVD, Saved by the Bell, and What's Happening. Just wondering why they would be edited if they are not on a cable network. Has anyone else come across a DVD that had edited episodes?

What's Happening season 1 has edited eps! That sucks. Barney Miller-Season 1 has 2 edited episodes. I was pissed when I found that out cause there's only 13 eps in season 1. I've heard that Soap-season 1 has a few edited eps. I remember reading that Sanford and Son Season 3 had an edited ep. I think it's stupid to have edited eps on dvd. You pay alot of money for the season sets, you should get uncut eps.

I read somewhere that one episode of the Punky Brewster Season 1 wasn't on the disk, it was the final episode of the season, and it was an episode the networks wouldn't air at the time the show came out.

Yeah I read SBTB were edited, there's another but for the life of me I cannot remember what it was.

I found edits in the DVD's of "Will and Grace" Season Two and The Complete First Season of "The Mary Tyler Moore Show."

What episodes from the Barney Miller DVD are cut?

I've heard from people on the Saved by the Bell board that some of the DVDs from the Season 3/4 set are edited.

I could be wrong, but I don't think any of the live-action Punky Brewster episodes are edited on the DVD set...the episodes run for about 24 minutes, and I'm pretty sure they're all the uncut NBC airings. (You even get the 1984 NBC logo intro before each ep starts) Also, there are no episodes missing from the Season One set, all four seasons ran for 22 episodes each.

The Family Guy episode "Road to Rhode Island" is edited on the Volume 1 DVD set. There is an entire scene cut in which Stewie mentions Osama Bin Laden. (This episode originally aired pre-9/11)

Ramon and The Bureaucrat are edited. These are the only eps on the season 1 dvd that are 22 minutes each. The rest of the eps run anywhere between 24:30- 25:30 minutes long so I knew something was fishy. I just hope they get it right when season 2 comes out. Hopefully they will release it soon.

Yeah, I noticed that Ramon was edited, which sucks, since that was the first episode...

I have heard Charlie's Angels Season 2 is edited (charliesangels.com reports it). I have heard nothing sitcom wise though, only rumors -- unless it can be proven, I'm not believing it.

Will & Grace has edited Episodes??!!??

Happened to me with Soap Season One. That's why I sold it.

PZelda · 09-22-2004, 12:27 PM

Yeah, I found out after buying them that Punky Brewster and SBTB were both edited.

I sold my Punky DVD in June and I'm in the process of selling my SBTB DVD's. I don't want anything to do with them anyway.

Ever since the ALF DVD brouhaha, I always read DVD reviews and stuff about the set before I buy it.
