It was a JOKE, you idiot. You have a sense of humor smaller than a

Pretty hilarious, since under another moniker, I was the one who
initially proposed the creation of this group in alt.config years ago.
Some kind news admin, unknown to me, sent the required control
message, thus, we now have this group. I've lurked (and occasionally
posted) here ever since and have all 168 episodes, mostly on VHS, but
several on DVD, also. Just because I don't get all bent out of shape
when a product doesn't meet my expectations, be they reasonable or
otherwise, it doesn't mean I'm not a fan.

I think you place too much im****tance on a television show. Send it
back, demand a full refund, tell them why you are dissatisfied, and
let it go.

See, this is what I'm talking about. You aren't interesting in a
civil discussion or resolution of the problem. All you want to do is
pitch a hissy fit and make stereotypical insults. Grow up already.
Your "feedback" proves nothing more than cutting up television shows
for home release isn't an uncommon practice. As long as people keep
buying the discs or tapes, they'll keep churning them out that way.

I'm sorry, is there some sort of law that requires them to do so? No,
they did it to sell DVDs and tapes. If Paramount gets enough of them
returned, they'll get the message. I hate to be the one to break it
to you, sonny, but all your *****ing and moaning won't change that
fact.

Sorry, I don't drink alcohol, and certainly don't need a pittance from
the likes of you. BTW, maybe you need to lay off the beer. You like
using it in your comparisons so much, maybe you imbibe a bit too much,
also. That would explain your attitude.
