"Unless my set is defective, Vivendi seems to have taken the 21 Season 3-4 episodes and butchered them literally beyond recognition. Maybe this should have been obvious in advance, because if you do the math, 366 minutes of runtime leaves only 14 minutes per episode after the 72 minutes of bonuses are subtracted.
And indeed, some episodes are as short as 5 minutes, and it looks as if every one has been edited to some degree. Why bother to issue such a hack job? I couldn't be more disappointed."
***NOT COMPLETE***THIS SET IS EDITED***

"It's been a number of years since I've seen this show in reruns (on HBO), but it is not hard to see that these shows have been EDITED. There are two episodes (two of my favorites) that I remember well and they are missing at least 3 or 4 minutes each. This set is advertised as the "COMPLETE Season 3 & 4". IT'S NOT. It even says "complete" right on the front cover.
I would think that such false advertising is illegal.
I would rather have paid a few dollars more and had these shows unedited. Perhaps if this were a 4 disk set (again, as advertised) instead of 3, there would be room for each episode in it's entirety."
Hatchet Job!!

"The cover of this DVD says "As Seen On HBO." That is a BLATENT LIE!
There are OBVIOUSLY huge sections of the episodes that are missing.
Language is SO CLEARLY censored. In some episodes, she says things like "I don't give a fig" and anyone can easily see that is NOT the word that came out of her mouth. I can understand network T.V. editing language, but NOT a DVD. If they're going to advertise "As Seen On HBO", then that is what they should deliver. Fans deserve better than this crappy, heavily censored, hatchet job. Why censor a DVD? Don't waste your money."
FAIL! NOT Complete Episodes

"They've edited this set within and inch of it's life. Removed some of the best classic skits like when Ruby and Buddy win the Truck in Hype....gone completely. I'm VERY VERY VERY sorry I wasted money on this. Don't make the same mistake I did."
I Love The Show But DVD Set Is A Disappointment

"First off the set is only 3 discs and not 4 as described. I was hoping I had a defective set or not the right one. I am still watching the first disc and one show was cut down to a little over 3 minutes. Once I found out my set is not defective I have started watching it again. I love the show and the scenes that are on the set. I just wish they advertised that it is a compilation of the last 2 seasons and not complete. I hate how the music industry controls the rights and makes it impossible to release tv shows the original way they were made and broadcast."
