Father of the Pride DVD question



I've heard this is censored badly? Can anyone confirm/deny?

That seems like an answer right there.

Seriously, though, is there a source for your concern? Because no, there's been indication that it's been edited.

Sorry it did not answer your question. I haven't picked since I am waiting for it to drop in price. But I just read the reviews on Amazon and I see your concern. I saw the original series on TV but without seeing this dvd I could not tell you. Maybe somebody that has seem them both can chime in.

wrong, one review suggests it, out of the 5 that are posted.
and it is only one scene if it's true at all. not the entire series as implied.

"on the top of the case it says "THE COMPLETE SERIES" what it should say is the edited, censored, water downed version so we try not to offend anyone but white men cause they dont matter version. I wanted the complete series, not an edited series. what is it with these companies changing stuff to be politically correct?? the most obvious edit is they got rid of the cat cleaning off larrys whip cream. but they leave in the white men/lions cant dance joke. what else has been edited for my viewing safety?? this is why I wont buy the "in living color " series, they edited them. unfortunatly I pre ordered this but wouldnt have got it had I known I wasnt getting what they are advertising. the shows are funny but I hate when they do the PC thing so as not to offend anyone.

Nope, you read only the negative ones.

Complete Series,,,,,,, NOT, June 15, 2005
Reviewer: Azure1 "Azure1" (USA) - See all my reviews

All of the Parts that were Cut out by NBC are still Missing.

Case In Point,, The part where the Cat was Licking the Whipped Cream off of Larrys, John Goodman, Chest in the Panda Episode that was Originaly aired UN-Cut last September.

What's the Deal--DreamWorks??

All In All, A Great Show.

I never saw it on TV but I downloaded some episodes off the net. It's an awesomely funny series. Such a pity it was canceled.

big worms, what do you mean read the neg ones?
there were only 5.

the second one you quoted was just another person quoting the first guy who says it was censored.

both even if a double quote, they still only offer one example even though they say
"watered down",
"All of the Parts that were Cut out by NBC are still Missing. " and
"the most obvious edit is..."

There are 5 reviews. One was negative (the one you quoted) another one was positive (the one I quoted). The second quote I pasted was not quoting the first one, he or she stated that a scence was missing which yes happens to be the same scence the other person mentioned.

Now having said that, I agree that it still does not really say if the whole thing is censored or just this one scence. Honestly I don't even remember that scence.
