Title: The Comic Strip Presents … The Complete Collection
Country: USA
Region: 1
Releasing Studio: EOne
Case Type: Fold-out
Aspect Ratio: 1.33:1 / 1.78:1
Anamorphic?: Yes / No
PAL or NTSC?: NTSC
Soundtracks: English Dolby Digital 2.0
Subtitles: No
Cuts: Mostly, No
Commentaries: No
Extras: Yes
Notes:
-#14 (The Supergrass) is the 93-minute home video version, and is squashed down to a 16:9 ratio.
-Unlike on the VCI Region 2 set, most of the Channel 4 episodes (on discs 1-5) have their original mid-way “end of part 1/part 2” division title cards as originally broadcast: The Beat Generation; Dirty Movie; Gino - Full Story and Pics; Eddie Monsoon - A Life?; The Bullshitters: Roll Out the Gunbarrel; Consuela (Or 'The New Mrs Saunders’); Private Enterprise; Didn't You Kill My Brother?; Funseekers. All other time differences of just a few seconds usually just mean longer end title/copyright screens.
-The Yob is 2 minutes shorter than on the R2 DVD, ending after the credits and removing the empty black screen with the rest of the music.
-The episodes that have heavy edits on the VCI R2 set are presented uncut here: South Atlantic Raiders; South Atlantic Raiders, Part II: 'Argie Bargie!’; Oxford; Les Dogs; Wild Turkey; Space Virgins from Planet Sex; Queen of the Wild Frontier; Four Men in a Car.
-Fold-out case containing five panels; four with two discs stacked on top of each other.
-All episodes are 4:3 Non-Anamorphic except #14, #38 & #39 (1.78:1 Anamorphic).

That information is copied from the pre-existing entry, but I can check.

I’ll take this one. The DVD entries need an overhaul anyway.
