I checked on some of the episodes that are problematic which I have. The timesped ones from the first 4 seasons, mine are timesped as well. I have those from Hulu and A&E. Indians and Catch I have complete from Hulu and CBS. When I get a chance, I can A/B Indians to see what's missing. I can check Stroke from my A&E copy to see if it differs. Some of those 5th season running times seem short, even for timespeeding. I'll try to check those as well at some point with my A&E copies.

Just got the first 4 seasons as a gift, but they were picked up from ebay by someone who doesn't know of the history of bootlegs, so I have a question...

What's the average disc file size? The sets are pegging out at 4.35 GB of data per disc for me, so I'm curious as to what the file sizes are for the rest of you.

And, in a more general question and a summary for those of us not quite ready to go back through 10 pages, how did the series itself come out on the unedited front? Was there very much editing because of bad original source handling? Timespeeding?

Season 3 : "Indians" 44:42 (definitely cut, and the big outlier in run times. I wonder what necessitated this radical editing? Something political, perhaps?).

I just received season 3 today and on my DVD the "Indians" episode runs 45:12 but it includes the opening 30 second teaser so that's obviously the difference.

I recorded the episode from Hulu and it ran 49:01 there.

So at least in that case what Shout! got isn't all there is.

Sounds like the PC police at Shout Factory deleted a scene from the episode that they thought to be objectionable.

Could it be just sped up?

That would be ironic for this show.
