Nearly all of the original music included! There are 3 episodes that are missing 2-4 minutes of footage, however. Definitely an improvement over the second season set in several ways.

you know, its amazing how many people have actually "reviewed" the set on Amazon - obviously before they've actually received the set!

I hope that once the word gets out that the music is mostly intact that sales go through the roof and we start getting regular releases with increasing quality

Yes.Yes.Yes. I hope so. - I've pre-ordered the Box as soon as I knew about it ... wonder how long the Mail will need over the Pond now.

That's good news about the music. Hopefully that will continue for future DVD sets. Do we get to see Potsie singing "Put Your Head On My Shoulder" to Joanie??

studd, read the review. All the episodes are uncut it seems except three.

Billy K. · 11-27-2007, 09:29 PM

Yeah, the review breaks down the episode running times by episode.

Bummer that 3 episodes are edited.

Is any one else having a hard time finding it? I went to 2 Walmart's, FYE, and Target and none of them had it.

anglemark10 · 11-28-2007, 01:42 AM

I went to Wal-Mart Tuesday, and they didn't have it. They told me to try again later, so I'll go back Wednesday.
