I was introduced to TBL with a VHS double-feature tape that included the episodes "ISM ISM ISM" and "ALTERNATE CULTURE". I thought both episodes were fantastic (10 out of 10) and purchased the DVD set as soon as it was available in the US. I was shocked (not to mention disappointed) to discover that both the episodes were heavily edited on the DVD. I mean CHUNKS of footage and dialog were removed when compared to the VHS tape versions. Not being familiar with the other episodes (which is why I purchased the DVD set) I must assume that they all have been edited. Has anyone else noticed this? Is there an explanation for this hack-job? I can't imagine why the creators of this great show would allow such a thing. Still, I suppose a hacked up TBL is better than no TBL.
