Kevin - where did you read this?I'd love to believe it's true, but it makes 
no sense that they'd float a truncated version out and then piss off the 
core audience by doing that. (Wait a minute...I forgot they do it all the 
time...never mind).

I'm really on the fence - I'd hate to see the series NOT get released 
because not enough people buy the stripped version, but if enough people buy 
the bad version, why would they make the effort ($) to release a more 
expensive complete one? And to Stewart's point (sans the guilt, thanks) if 
this version tanks, would they pull the full version?

Hard to believe that any TV on DVD is seen as a risk these days - my god, 
they're selling some incredibly lame stuff. But then I see Barney Miller 
stop at one season, Hill Street Blues at four and I wonder.

And speaking of "I wonder"...I'm glad Crime Story got their two seasons out 
before the beancounters woke up!
