Yeah, the warning is on the back of the box. I watched it all the way through, and I'm just puzzled as to why they feel a warning is necessary. The cartoons themselves are harmless at best. I'd rather kids would watch some of those cool cartoons of yesteryear than some of the crap aimed at them currently.
While I agree there are definitely channels showing cartoons produced for this generation that are complete garbage there are also some really great educational programs being produced today. Better then I ever recall seeing when I was a kid in the 60's and 70's. My kids only watch "Nick Jr." formerly known as"Noggin" and not to be confused with "Nickolodean". This station shows cartoons produced in the last decade or so that are educational in all respects, as well as being commercial free. I would prefer my kids watch shows like Little Bear, Franklin, Oswald (too name a few) over anything from the past. So I wouldn't want everyone to think all is a loss in this day and age. Of course I probably only know about these because I have young children. Otherwise, I would probably think everything revolved around Sponge Bob.
I just watched that episode last night and then went and found the two copies I have of that episode from different stations during syndication in the late 80's and early 90's. In one episode they cut the scene entirely and had the boys go into the locker room and then they are at the window. In the other episode they just cut the line out, they still have the locker room scene and the ring leader shoves the other guy into the stall and he says everything but that line, they cut it right after he says something about the school and then they go over to the window. That works better than the bleep but I am also not one for cutting anything out.
As I always say, shades of Stalin here, though not quite on his cataclysmic scale. Still, he used to take old photographs and cut out anyone he didn't like and then reproduce the revised photograph as original.
Thanks! What I was referring to was that with other DVD sets if I want to watch a certain episode I have to get out the cover and find out what disc it is on or in some cases pull out a leaflet that tells me which disc I have to get out for that episode. With this Barnaby Jones set I just look at the disc itself because it states which episodes are on that particular disc. I find that rather handy and not something I have on any other set.
I don't know how much work it would have been, but I would have liked to have seen an uncensored audio track option, as many Fox Animated or Adult Swim DVDs have.
I knew you'd like this one.
