DVD Alert: The episode "Mighty Mouth" on season 4 DVD is also edited

[TVFactFan]

It was stated by a poster one the Home Theater Forum that at the 12 min mark there is a part where Jack chases after his pants and struggles to get his first leg in one of the pants leg.

Well after looking at the episode on the DVD, when the episode cuts back to the apartment the 12:08 mark, there are 3 things that confirms that the episode is edited

1. You already hear the audience laughing at Jack putting on his pants

2. Jack is already in the process of putting on his pants as he falls into the door

3. Jack already has one of his legs inside the pants


So basically we never seen Jack before he puts the pants on and that confirms that this is the second edited episode on the DVD for season 4.



The only person who would have caught that this episode was edited was someone who watched the show every week on ABC. I only knew Ralph's Rival was cut because there was no Tag scene.

Do you know the running time for that episode? If it has an odd running time like "Ralph's Rival" then it's likely edited.

I would have to check but after watching it as soon as the episode cuts to the scene with him backing into the door, you can tell that it was a scene that was already in progress because the audience was already laughing.

Maybe 30 to 45 secs was cut out

Well if it is edited, it's not a big deal. Aside from ladies who have a crush on John Ritter does anyone really want to see a half naked Jack trying to put on pants because I sure don't.

Mighty Mouth run time was 25:04

The ep Lee Ain't Heavy, He's my brother was 24:46 run time

Ralph's Rival run time was 24:30


The SitcomsOnline Review said all the eps from that season were in between 24:30 and 25:30


So you can see some eps are cut more than others

I looked at it again and when the scene cuts back to the apt, the audience is already laughing but you don't see anyone. Then all of a sudden jack appears and falls into the door and only has one leg inside the pants

Which proves that the scene was cut when he put his first leg inside the pants

If 25:04 is the normal running time for episodes from Season 4 then I don't think it's edited. I used to check the running times for my dvds as soon as I got them and I don't recall any eps from that season running 25:30 long, more like 25:10 at the most.

Is it possible that ABC cut the scene before it originally aired due to time? The part with Jack putting his pants on could be a deleted scene. I can understand why the Tag scene in Ralphs Rival is missing because of bad audio, or not being able to find the master, but it wouldn't make sense why they wouldn't have that small scene from Mighty Mouth on there if it was part of the original broadcast.

Maybe it was longer than 25:04??

That run time doesn't mean it wasn't edited, it just means it was supposed to be 25:35.


It was only a 20-30 second scene that was cut so it's not that big of a deal but it's very obvious when watching the episode.

It wasn't a deleted scene because I stated in the beginning someone already saw the scene back in 79 on ABC. That's what made me go and watch the episode to see if I can identify the edit and I was able to do that.

Is it the same person who said that the Tag scene on Ralph's Rival was Jack getting a bone crusher handshake? He swore it too.

No this was another person. I will look for it

Ok, I just checked this episode and I don't believe it is edited. The running time for Mighty Mouth on my DVD Player is 25:12 and I checked many of the running times for other Season 4 episodes and a lot of them are 25:11- 25:12. The main reason I think it's not edited is because I watched that scene and yes the audience is laughing, but if you notice the beginning of the scene you see most of the living room and then we see Jack bump into his door. He was in his bedroom. Then we see Jack's room and Jack struggles to put on his pants and he makes a joke. Now if it was edited, there would be no reason for that shot at the beginning which shows the whole living room we would just see Jack in his bedroom putting on his pants.

I'm not sure I understand, Jack already had one of his legs inside them pants
which proves a scene is missing
