What is cut?

[Matthew_B_Harrah]

This set is essentially the same as the US release. Just in PAL and lacking most of the extras from what I can tell.

On the US comparison notes:
The packaging implies that Man's Best Friend is on Disc 3 when it's in fact an extra on Disc 2. The packaging also claims that these episodes are here in their original airing order; this may well not be the case, especially with Season 2. Sadly, although sold and promoted as uncut and although many previously censored scenes and indeed entire episodes have been restored on this DVD set, a number of the episodes remain to all intents and purposes incomplete. To quote from the review on DVD Talk: "According to various web sources, you can tell when a cut occurs – it happens every time the scene fades out for no real reason. For those who are interested in more details on this issue, your answers are just a Google search away." However, despite all of this, any fan of the show would be well advised to buy this release, and here's a response from John Kricfalusi to the missing footage issue: http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/newsitem.cfm?NewsID=2290

What lead me to even find the Australia review was from me trying find a review for the German SD-Blu-ray. Which is supposedly almost completely uncut with only a few edits, however from what I have gathered is a lot of the reinstated footage is only in German audio.

It's very confusing how you listed the extras apart from the episodes. Please don't do that from now on. List all disc contents under each disc.

- “Visit To Anthony” (23:45)

Also, I've mentioned before but if prepositions or articles are used within titles, they should be small case latters.

O.K. I will do that for now on.

Sorry about that, I was copping from the review and didn't catch that.
