Why was the DVD released in three different sets?


I bought season 1 volume 1, not knowing that season 1 volume 2 was also available, or that I could have just gotten the complete season 1 in one box.
I've never heard of this being done before. Why?

reply

I have the same dilemma. Really stupid if you ask me. I haven't found vol. 2 yet.

reply

try amazon.They have vol 2 and then thats all of season 1.

Go ahead and waste even more money on these cheap ass DVDs. These are NOT the original versions, are censored and have 99% of the songs CUT OUT. I'd take a dump an the face of whoever thought of releasing these cut, censored ALTERED piss ass weak versions of this callsic series!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Makes me sick

Films take it easy dude.We may not have the whatever mm flim you have but this is all we can get.How are these censored there was never any nudity or cursing.Just heather thomas in a skimpy bikkni and stuff around those lines.This is just my opinion here.

In "The Japanese Connection", the marijuanna scenes and references were changed....marijuanna is now called "plants"

It's NOT the same show and if you had seen the originals you'd understand. I am not buying any more of these on dvd. There is no way that I am going to watch and episode like "Spring Break" without the songs that help make the scenes work. There is no reason or sense in editing a series for DVD. It's a crime!!!!!!!!

How old are you anyway travis?

"Im 21 what does my age haft to do with what im talking about. "

The fact that you don't get it(in terms of knowing the original versions). Other than that, you're fine. Hell I wish I were 21 again(I'm 36)

Films i finally understand what your saying with the dvds and all.I first saw the fall guy on fx when it was on.Im glad there out on dvd and i hope in the next seasons they release they keep all of the orignal stuff in the dvds.Its cool you got alot of the episodes on flim.

Though I bought and treasure my season 1 DVDs I agree with Film about the editing.The music is a problem for a lot of shows(for example WKRP in Cincinnati)
because whoever holds the rights to the songs wants a fat royalty.The marijuana thing i agree is totally stupid.

lot of ppl paying 20.00 per volume or 40.00+ for the season. I also got the baywatch fiascos cheap too.In certain respects these screwups save those who wait money while the idiots waste their money and help get the prices dropped.
