Notes: German Dvd Title "Trio mit vier Fäusten" (Universum labeled it as "Trio mit 4 Fäusten"). Also available in a complete series 1-3 boxset (B00CJPRIVI or B003BY0SE0). Unlike the U.S. release, all of the opening teasers are left out. However, none of the episodes have music replaced (like in the Canadian version, which has the opening teasers). Examples: In the episode "Where the Girls Are" starting at 1:09 (German version), the song "California Girls" from the Beach Boys is replaced in the Canadian version with some generic tunes. In the episode "Prisoner of War" starting at 25:08 (German version), the song "Hey Jude" from the Beatles is replaced in the Canadian version with some generic tunes. In the episode "Boz Busters" starting at 36:14 (German version), the song "Ghostbusters" from Ray Parker Jr. is replaced in the Canadian version with some generic tunes. In the episode "Harmony and Grits" starting ag 28:29 (German version), the song "Honesty" from Billy Joel is replaced in the Canadian version with tome generig tunes. In the German version the originals are all there). None of the Episodes in the German release have chapters (contrary to the Canadian version). Compared to the Canadian release, the picture quality of the German version is clearly better. In the Canadian release, the distributor Visual Entertainment Incorporated makes the viewer aware of the sometimes substandard picture quality at the beginning of some of the episodes with the following opening remark: "This DVD contains technical anomalies inherited in historical footage." The Episode "The Twisted Cross" was never syndicated in German television before the DVD release (because of the Nazi topic). This is why in the Universum release there are optional subtitles in German (but no German audio).
