TOO MANY GIRLS-edited on DVD - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

HelloLarry · 04-25-2007, 12:30 AM

I'm sure this is old news but the episode TOO MANY GIRLS is edited on the DVD.

I stumbled across this on YouTube yesterday:

This does not have the brush out in the frame and there is a full body shot of Fern that is edited out on the DVD. Anybody know more about this, this appears to be from a rerun on a syndicated station somewhere. I thought the DVD straightened all of that stuff out. Any chance this is going to be remastered (again)??

Yes, the scene was changed after the original firstrun telecast on NBC in December 1966; bikini-clad Fern Badderly (Kelly Jean Peters)’s massive cleavage was originally concealed in order to appease NBC-TV Broadcast Standards and Practices.

Don't know whether or not it'll be remastered (again); this appears to be the only known print of the altered sequence, as far as I can tell.

I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for any changes: This set's been out for a few years now and this is the first mention I've heard about it. I can live with it.

I just thought it was interesting but while we're kind of on the subject, it would be nice if these episodes got another cleanup by someone other than Rhino. Some of them are in pretty poor shape. One thing that comes to mind is the line that runs through the Fairy Tale episode. That just seems strange for something that is touted as remastered from the original 35mm elements. They really need a cleanup and the sound is horrendus at times.

However, I agree. It is doubtful that this will occur anytime soon so I'm happy just having them on DVD for now.
