3rd Rock from the Sun: The Complete Series

Great price but last 2 seasons are edited down to 21 minutes per episode
The price for these Millcreek versions is low but I've noticed they're edited for syndication in seasons 5 & 6 down to 21 minutes per episode. The UK versions of the DVD's are unedited, but unfortunated they're in PAL format and won't play on most machines here. The editing is noticeable when dialogue fades off towards the end of scenes but people are clearly still speaking and the end credit scenes are totally gone. In a season that adds up to about 90 minutes of program you're not getting.

The *Almost* Complete Series
Firstly, let me start by saying this: 3rd Rock from the Sun was one of my favorite shows to watch with the family when I was growing up. The comedy of the characters is just unsurpassed, and - overall, it's a phenomenal show.

My problem is with the simple lie on the package. This is NOT the complete series, it's the Complete Syndicated Series.

I bought this, hoping to get some good laughs from a great show, and all I received was a large amount of frustration when I discovered that the first episode was edited from it's original hour long standing, to 22 minutes...

Just be warned - This series is incomplete.

I'll be returning this shortly, and buying the seasons individually, in the hope that the "uncut" sticker I see on the package is true.

Classic, humorous series
DVDs are in paper sleeves.
Quality of video and sound are good.
Show ranges from amusing to pretty damned funny.
Main actors are perfect for their roles.
At around $21 I paid for 6 seasons -this is a steal.
