I remember, while watching my "24 - season 1" DVD set, that there were scenes not in the original series. There was nothing significant; at the time, I thought it was just extra material to get each episode up to a minimum length.
More recently, I've been wondering: if the DVD producers don't feel bound to present on the DVDs exactly what was originally shown, maybe they should work on editing out the irriting "previously on" dialogue. You know what I mean: two character working into their conversation references to events from previous episodes, for the benefit of viewers who did not see those episodes. I guess that series with long story arcs need this type of thing, but on a DVD release, they are just irritating.
So I was wondering if any of you have noticed this type of "previously on" dialogue disappearing when series are released on DVD.
