1.0 out of 5 stars EDITED! CUT! INCOMPLETE! AVOID ! Sigh.... November 5, 2004
Format:DVD
Here we go again, another TV series with EDITED versions on DVD. Why should we pay good money for cut shows? The uncut versions are readily available, but someone probably didn't want to spend a few extra dollars to remaster them, so instead they dump the syndication prints on the market and hope the consumer is too dumb to notice.

If you buy this set, saying it isn't a big deal...let me ask you a question. Would you be upset if you bought a book from Amazon and then found out that 10 to 15 % of the pages had been removed? OF COURSE YOU WOULD! This is no different.

Boycott this and the many other edited TV shows on DVD (the list is growing, sadly) and send polite letters to Rhino Home Video telling them why they aren't getting your money.

AVOID THIS SET!

1.0 out of 5 stars EDITED EPISODES November 3, 2004
By MrCono
Format:DVD
THIS BOX SET OF "TOO CLOSE FOR COMFORT" DOES NOT INCLUDE THE FULL, ORIGINAL BROADCAST VERSIONS OF THE PROGRAM. IT HAS THE SYNDICATED/EDITED VERSION OF THE SHOW. YOU MIGHT AS WELL WAIT UNTIL THE SHOW AIRS ON CABLE. YOU WILL SEE THE SAME VERSION ON THESE DVD DISCS.

2.0 out of 5 stars DO NOT give Rhino your money. November 6, 2004
Format:DVD
As others have stated, Rhino does not deliver on what was advertised for the release of Too Close For Comfort Season one. Unedited episodes with cast commentary and photo gallery extras were promised, however there are NO extras, and as mentioned before, the episodes are edited, syndication episodes. I have emailed Rhino (drrhino@rhino.com) stating my displeasure. I encourage any other fans, and owners who were ripped off, to write to Rhino stating your displeasure and that you will not support any other products by Rhino unless they resolve the manner by recalling the current batch of Too Close For Comfort DVDs and replacing them with the promised format, UNEDITED episodes with cast commentaries and photo gallery. While they are at it, they may as well add a "jukebox" feature where they include the ability to listen to the opening, closing (unedited) themes, and any alternates. Furthermore, suggest that if the have the rights to release any further seasons, that they deliver what they promise. If not, they may as well let another company release any other Too Close For Comfort products, and get it right.
