3.0 out of 5 stars Confirmed: Odd Couple edits are getting worse, January 22, 2008

This review is from: The Odd Couple - The Third Season (DVD)

Sad to say, but possibly the greatest TV sitcom ever is getting hacked for DVD release. Season 1 of the Odd Couple on DVD was perfect -- no cuts. Season 2 was near-perfect -- only a couple of pieces of incidental music were changed.

But sure enough, there are serious cuts this season that make viewing less enjoyable. The worst: the famous "role reversal" has its closing punchline cut off. The show stops when Felix says "I believe I sing better than you, Oscar." We don't get to see the bit where Felix sings "Cocktails for Two" and Oscar shuts him in the closet. Parts of Felix singing are also cut from at least two other episodes.

Three stars because the shows are still great and the total cuts on the season seem to be about two minutes. Still, this does not bode well for future seasons: Felix's band playing the square dance ... Paul Williams ... Laugh, Clown, Laugh ... Jaye P. Morgan ... Roy Clark ... Those episodes will be ruined if the music is cut.

1.0 out of 5 stars Such a disappointment, February 2, 2008

I can't even begin to explain the disappointent in this DVD set. Odd Couple fans have been waiting for decades for this series to be released on DVD. When they finally get around to it, they give us these inexcusable edited versions. I have counted at least five episodes with deleted, changed, or shortened scenes, due to someone (usually Felix) singing a few lines from a song. ("Sweet mystery of life" from 'The Odyssey Couple'; "Secluded Rondevoux" from 'Role Reversal'; "Sun in the morning..", from 'Murry who came to Dinner'; "Look for the Silver Lining" from 'The Odd Monks', and "Peg of my heart" from 'The Odd Couples')

I think someone owes true fans of the series an explanation. Other than here, where can we register our complaints? The sad fact is, if we do, instead of correcting them, they will probably respond by not releasing the 4th and 5th seasons. Shame on Paramount!

How sad.

1.0 out of 5 stars Great show, horrible DVDs., February 18, 2008

This review is from: The Odd Couple - The Third Season (DVD)

I had been waiting for years for the Odd Couple to be released on DVD, and when they finally came out I was ecstatic. I bought Seasons 1 & 2 as soon as they hit the shelves and I enjoyed them alot, and didn't even notice any of the supposed cuts or music changes, possibly because they were very subtle. Not the case with Season 3. The cuts are very noticeable, and really take away from my enjoyment of seeing the episodes again. I was really shocked by this. I can't imagine how much it would have cost Paramount to pay for the right to use a line or two from some old songs, but I'm sure the $34.99 everyone paid for the DVDs would help cover the cost and leave us all alot happier.
As one other reviewer said, what will happen with some of the later episodes? There are a few that revolve around music especially those with Felix's band the Sophisticados, and the Paul Willam's episode. Will these episodes be cut to bits? This type of greed is unacceptable and I will not be buying any future sets of The Odd Couple I'm sad to say. What a diasappointment.
