My blind buys have all turned out moderately good to great: 1) Firefly 2) 24 3) Farscape 4) Babylon 5 5) Chappelle's Show 6) Fawlty Towers 7) The Prisoner the only one that I consider a bad blind buy is The Young Ones

I had no problems with the original big head BSG set. However I did have a couple of problems with my first Buck Rogers set (Gary Coleman episode). I took it back and the next one worked, but the manual was missing. So I had to go back to the store and ask them to give me the manual from the set...

I have all of the SG1 seasons and BSG and I definitely prefer the BSG DVDs. Not only are the extras better (commentary on most episodes, and deleted scenes) but the show is much more entertaining. The later seasons of SG1 contained more extras, but the quality of the show starts to go down about...

I was going to reply, but George summed it up quite nicely.

I do not like the double sided DVDs either. I have had problems with Buck Rogers in the 25th Century, but the replacements were ok. I have also not had any problems with the original Battlestar Galactica or any of the two sided Starburst DVDs. I have watched every second of all of them except...

Not quite. Barney Mends a Broken Heart is missing the epilogue too. It is the part where Nurse Peggy is "doctoring" Andy and putting a steak on his eye. This is supposedly shown when this episode airs on TV Land.

Otherworld

I will be holding off on purchasing this as well. If they are cut, I won't be buying.

I am definitely for the thinkpacks. I have considered buying thinpacks for SG-1 even without inserts just to save the shelf space. The sets that take up the most space for me is Stargate, original release of Twilight Zone (single layer, but in thin packs), and Monty Python Flying Circus (which I...

Short lived & obscure: Otherworld 1985 Only 8 episodes aired, but it is rumored 13 were made (5 never aired). I think Universal has the rights to this show, but I am not sure. There is one episode that might have problems on DVD because of music rights.

IMO sony is the worst. They allowed a music rights issue to not only replace the theme song but to cause them to release syndicated episodes (Married With Children Season 4).

Definitely go for BSG. In the past I was a big Star Trek and Stargate fan and never gave shows like Farscape and B5 a chance. When I was talked in to trying B5, at first I thought it was really crappy, but by the beginning of the 2nd season I was loving it. I am halfway through Farscape season 1...

I think it is likely that Sermon for Today may have something missing, but unlike the two edited episodes on Season 3, I think it is possible that the missing footage for that episode no longer exists. I have never seen an epilogue after the porch scene. Also, the laugh track is missing on about...

I generally won't buy shows that are edited.

No, Jakob is supposed to check the times of his uncut episodes to compare with the DVD times. I sent him an email to see if he would send me a couple of episodes to compare (one that is cut about 1 minute or more, and another that is only slightly shorter), but I haven't heard back from him yet.
