Every Fourth Season Episode is Syndicated Prints - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I think that this warrants its own thread. Every episode on the season four DVD is the syndicated version. The fact that ABC Family had different edits proves that they were still available. There's no excuse for these syndicated episodes. I can see these exact same versions on BET for free. Everyone who didn't buy the DVD yet should save their money.

I will be shocked if this DVD does not get a well-deserved 1 out of 5 in the upcoming review.

I'm content with the syndicated versions but it would have been nice to own the "complete" season like the box says.

There are arguments over the word "complete". It's either complete because all the episodes are there, or it's complete because every episode is exactly as it first aired.

All the season 4 episodes are the syndicated versions. I've posted the run times below. It appears that there have been no music cuts/replacements, which is the one upside to this release.

DISC 1
1. "Surely You Joust" - 21:50
2. "Hot Wheels" - 21:50
3. "Dance to the Music" - 21:50
4. "Driving Carl Crazy" - 21:50
5. "Rumor Has It" - 21:48
6. "No. 1 with a Bullet" - 21:52
7. "Whose Kid Is it, Anyway?" - 21:49
8. "An Officer and a Waldo" - 21:49

DISC 2
9. "Just One Date" - 21:51
10. "The Oddest Couple" - 21:49
11. "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad House" - 21:44
12. "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Urkel" - 21:49
13. "Muskrat Love" - 21:51
14. "The Way the Ball Bounces" - 21:49
15. "A Thought in the Dark - 21:50
16. "Tender Kisses" - 21:52

DISC 3
17. "Heart Strings" - 21:50
18. "Higher Anxiety" - 21:49
19. "Mama's Wedding" - 21:52
20. "Pulling Teeth" - 21:51
21. "Walk on the Wild Side" - 21:49
22. "Hot Stuff" - 21:49
23. "Stormy Weather" - 21:51
24. "Buds 'N' Buns" - 21:50

OTHER NOTES:
I never realized it before but the episode "Pulling Teeth" has got to be one of the worst episodes of the series. It just seems odd to me like it doesn't fit in.

The dueling accordions scene in "Hot Stuff" with Steve and Myra is priceless!

My top 5 episodes from season 4 are "Driving Carl Crazy", "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Urkel", "A Thought in the Dark", "The Oddest Couple", & "Surely You Joust"

Is there going to be a review?

Lorimar Television · 02-06-2014, 11:19 PM

Just so you know tlc38tlc38, you forgot to add a time for "Buds 'N' Buns".

WonderYearsfan · 02-07-2014, 07:43 AM

thats a shame that they are the syndicated prints. i can tolerate an episode here and there show up on a dvd set cut. but the entire release? absolutley uncalled for. while theres nothing we can do about season 4 i strongly suggest we voice our complaints so this same thing doesnt happen with seasons 5-9

I agree with this, but I would replace "Surely You Joust" with "It's A Mad, Mad, Madhouse."
