3.0 out of 5 stars
Good show...bad cuts, June 20, 2010
This review is from: The Commish: The Complete First and Second Seasons (DVD)
I recently purchased this set and found that just like the Starz / Anchor Bay release, the episodes are badly cut. I don't know what it is about production companies in the United States. It is nearly impossible to get complete and uncut episodes of any TV show. "Columbo" was badly cut up. I learned from Universal that they released only the syndication cuts of the show, not the "complete & uncut" version. "Nero Wolfe" episodes are missing as much as 20 minutes in some episodes and a minimum of 5 minutes. So far, out of six TV series I have purchased on DVD that were released by studios in the United States, all of them contain cut episodes and none are "complete". "The Commish" is just another example of greed in the American studios as they clutch and grab for more and more of the almighty consumer dollar.
