A slight variation on this week's poll. By now most of us know that the Cosby Show dvd has syndicated episodes, but I'm still interested in seeing how many would buy it if it was complete and unedited. So there are two choices if you're interested in the Cosby Show: if you'd buy it only if it's complete or if you'll buy it regardless.

I'll be getting Candid Camera - Decades of Smiles and The Cosby Show - Season 1 for free. Just to note, as much as I would hate it, I think I would break down and buy TCS even though it is edited. I'm still pissed over it though, and my review for it won't be happy.

And, somewhere down the line, I'll pick up Hearts Afire - Season 1.

I'm on the fence too. I keep hoping Urbanworks makes an announcement: oops, we made a mistake, we'll fix it, we'll release a proper version. I'm not sure one way or the other if I'll walk out of the store with it on Tuesday. I'll be looking to see how many other people buy it though.

I was planning to get the Cosby Show but changed my mind once I heard it is edited. I refuse to pay $35 for cut up episodes that I can watch on Nick at Nite and what not for free.

Just a reminder to everyone, the poll is multiple choice. You can also vote for "none"

PZelda · 07-28-2005, 10:59 AM

I would buy The Cosby Show only if it was unedited.

I'm not buying anything on 8/2, but I may check out Hearts Afire down the road. Who knows... My birthday is in 2.5 weeks so I may ask for it as a b-day gift.

vashti1999 · 07-28-2005, 11:26 AM

Cosby: I guess I've decided I'd only buy it unedited. I've never seen Hearts Afire and would like to check it out, but I won't blind buy that right away, so I just voted for Over There and the Sid & Marty Krofft Saturday Morning Collection, both of which I probably wouldn't get if I weren't reviewing them.

Pavan · 07-28-2005, 11:30 AM

Hearts Afire Season 1 is a must buy. The writing is awesome for season one. One of the best seasonal writings ever for a sitcom I think. Too bad CBS messed it up with their censors for seasons 2 and 3. They thought S1 was too sexy.

L&OFan4Eva · 07-28-2005, 11:55 AM

I'm getting Over There and Hearts Afire for sure, and even though it's edited, I'll probably get Cosby.

gilligan fanatic · 07-28-2005, 01:05 PM

none, but I might have to get Hearts Afire in the weeks to come

Vash, what are you gonna do if Urbanworks also puts the edited versions for A Different World: Season 1? I am gonna buy it no matter what because it's the only official DVD release of that show. I doubt another company's gonna come along and release the unedited episodes in season sets - This is it. Same thing with The Cosby Show.

Dean Winchester · 07-28-2005, 02:43 PM

I voted the second Cosby option, but I won't lie, if Best Buy runs a sale as cheap as they had Third Rock and MTM this week, I'll buy it

well, ADW will be different IMO. Even though it airs on Oxygen, 99% of my tv viewing is usually after 8 or 9 pm, so I rarely get to see it. I have Cosby Show as an option to watch every night. Plus retail will be a tad bit cheaper.

I will ask you, Sasette, BuffySlayer, barwars and all other Different World fans to join me as we burn down the Urbanworks offices. NO!! JUST KIDDING!! I admit, it's possible I may still get the Cosby Show, it's not a definitive no. But if they do that with ADW, I wouldn't buy it because I already recorded each and every episode from the syndicated broadcasts on dvd-r. I'm hoping ADW will be complete and also have some good bonus features. I love ADW more than the Cosby Show but if they release edited versions, there will be no reason for me to buy it.

**Oops, I just remembered, I'm getting a review copy. Duh.

spunkygirl · 07-28-2005, 03:11 PM

I wouldn't buy the edited episodes of the Cosby show, not with as much airplay as the show gets, maybe if it were a show like Who's the Boss or something that didn't get alot of airplay I probably would.

Oh A Different World better not be edited

I would probably buy it though
