I'm interested in picking up all 6 seasons of Sanford And Son, and all 3 seasons of What's Happening! ... Are these the original broadcast episodes, or have they been edited?

If it's a mixed bag, does anyone know how many episodes were edited from each set?

Thanks.

Except for those graphic sex scenes in season 2 of Sanford and Son, i don't think anything was edited.

Was that the episode titled "Sanford in Son"?

Thanks a million, MovieExchange.

Not a problem. Overall, I'd say they're worth buying, especially with that insane deal DDD has going.
