One of the people working on this set says "Mr. Reubens kept everything" (all the 16mm negatives for each scene).


However, it appears Mr. Reubens threw away the negative for the real opening scene to at least one of the two episodes from season 3; per tv.com


After the first couple of times that this episode aired on CBS, it stopped showing the part at the very beginning, the "My Name Is..." song, for an unknown reason. It skipped to the scene showing Ricardo entering the Playhouse to find out the day's secret word. The 1996 VHS release and Fox Family airings of this episode reinstated the song. However, the segment was again dropped on DVD releases and Adult Swim airings.

Well, since I had wanted to pick this up from the moment I read the first review of the blu ray set, I couldn't resist the $70 price and free standard shipping. I don't often double dip, but every single review of the new set made it sound too good to pass up.
