If You DIDN'T have the Complete DVD Set........ - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Which episodes of The Brady Bunch do you prefer watching when comparing them to TV Land/Syndicated prints? Because the edits are different on each one, you might prefer one version over the other. Tell us the episode, which print you prefer, and why:

Here's an example:

I like the syndicated version of The Impractical Joker better than TV Land's version because you see Myron the mouse getting loose in Carol's bedroom. (You MISS in syndication Mike/Greg helping Myron run the maze.) But if I had a choice, I would take the syndicated version of this episode over TV Land.

Another example:

I like TV Land's version of the "Un-Underground Movie" better than the syndicated version because TV Land restores the scene of Bobby getting stuck in the stockade. Syndication cuts that out.

PS I have all 5 seasons on DVD and really like to use them as a guide to help in answering this question.

To be honest I can't imagine many fans of this show knowing enough about which "cut" they are watching and yet not have the sets. I've seen these sets "used" for as little as $20 so there is little reason not to own them, beyond that, I no longer even watch network TV for shows I own outright.
