ABC Broadcast of Family Matters S2 Premiere

Interesting was not aware of that.

There is actually a new complete series DVD release of this show coming later this month, hopefully it will have the original non-Urkel cold open for Rachel's First Date and the original uncut versions of both of those season 2 episodes.

Yeah that's odd, i've always wanted to own this show on DVD myself, so i'll see about saving up to get the set for myself to see if it has those episodes uncut.

oh I know, i'm hoping the upcoming complete series DVD release fixes that.

No not ALL TV shows are "Extremely easy" to find that's not even remotely close to being true, there's a ton of lost TV shows that haven't been seen since they first premiered(I.E. early TBS sitcoms like Rocky Road)shows that weren't reran very often(The Jersey) and shows that either had unreleased episodes(Kirk, Movie Stars) or weren't released period(Murder Police, The Ortegas)and some shows had their soundtracks changed for home releases(Dawson's Creek, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Sister Sister, Felicity, Everwood). That's not even getting into old shows with lost episodes(original Dr Who)due to the tapes missing.

I'm well aware of the DVD releases of the show, problem is they don't contain all the original versions of episodes, Rachel's First Date originally had a different opening without Urkel(once the show became popular and Urkel was introduced season 1 episodes had new opening with Urkel tacked on for later TV airings)and the season 1 DVD had the original non-Urkel openings for every episode except that one for some bizarre reason and the original season 2 premiere airing with the following episode had extra footage that hasn't been seen since it's original airing(it was a similar deal with episodes of Full House and That 70s Show and I believe the season 2 premiere of Sabrina the Teenage Witch as well).

you sure you're posting in the right thread? cause I wasn't talking about books here.

Give me the name of the ip holder and I will show you how to email.

Nobody is going to spend money to find out but it's 99% certain they are or can be got by asking the vendor.
