Enough Syndication!, Jun 23 2006
By Jesse Ross - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: NEW Season 3 (DVD) (DVD)
I have been very tolerant with previous ALF releases. They have all contained syndicated episodes. I didn't care so much about the first season, because I just figured that since the show was no longer on TV, the DVDs were the only way to see the show.Then the second season came out, again in syndication. I bought it because the show still was not on the air. Then I saw something shocking. During one of the episodes in the second season, there was music substituted, and the episode was shorter than I'd seen on TV Land. That was downright unacceptable.
So now we're at season three. Syndicated episodes again. This time one episode ran for under 19 minutes! I love ALF, and hate to see him get treated this way.
The episodes are all fantastic, and I'm still happy to own the DVDs, but the syndication thing has got to stop.
Unfortunately, this seems to be a recurring pattern with TV show box sets. The first season sets of both Roseanne and The Cosby Show were released in syndicated form. No studio in the world would ever dream of releasing edited movies, so why would so many want to release edited TV series? It's just wrong.
Season four will be out in September, or so I hear. I will probably buy it just to complete the set.

No good, April 7 2006

I do not want cut-up versions like these - do the job with respect for Alf and the customers and release the original full versions.
