Now what is with the Time Life dvds I keep hearing about? How many were there? How many episodes per set? How many episodes on the "History" set? Did any included subtitles at the very least?
If the 'time life' sets were just those bleh VHS releases from years ago. I can live without them,since many episodes I loved were not included in them.
And what is this about Comedy Central? Do they actually air reruns of the show now? I know MTV2 airs it sometime. But unfortunately from what I have seen. They just kept reairing the same 20 episodes they did near the end of the shows run. Basically all the hilarious/better early/middle material was forgotten and they only aired later half episodes. Some were funny,but they were raran into the ground on MTV that I stopped watching it.

I just found another rather large cut. In the episode "Manners Suck" the last part where Beavis and Butthead try to sweet talk their poop to come out has been excised in the "Director's Cut". The part is at the end of the episode after the fight. The episode ends abruptly while B&B are laughing. In the Time Life release that whole part is there in its entirety. Thanks for nothing Mike Judge. You really shit on this product for no real reason.

My roommate got the set so i was able to check it out. The 11 Videos claim is a little misleading as the Hum video only lasts about 10 seconds. I watched the retrospective and it was pretty good. There is one part in it that i found interesting. The animation director was talking about the fire debacle and how they had to go back and take out the fire references out of some of the episodes. She goes on to talk about how she hated to go back to make cuts and "ruin" the episodes. I wonder how she feels about this set.

I thought I could live with the cuts, but I'm just pissed that I sold my Time Life set. I've stuck this set on ebay. Screw this, I'll wait or just go without. I have enough other DVDs.

* This episode has all kinds of timing changes throughout. Some shorter, some longer.
* When B&B get to the hospital, the nurse says "Can I help you?". Makes sense, right? A nurse might say that when you walk up to the desk. The DC deletes this line.

Even putting aside the question of cuts, this set is pretty disappointing. I haven't compared with the Time-Life set (which I kept), but the picture quality looks like it was transferred from VHS or something.
Sad treatment for one of the greatest shows ever. I may have to dig out my VHS of all the "banned" episodes.

Shameful.
I was going to buy this set until i heard about these inane cuts. I don't care if Time-Life had an agreement or not, do the show right or not at all. I'm tired of being handed edit jobs like this one and expected to be satisfied that its on DVD.
I don't own anymore "In Living Color", any "Tom and Jerry", and i refuse to buy anything "Ren & Stimpy" anymore simply because of edits and being jerked around.

I'm glad I have my Time-Life and History of Beavis and Butthead plus a lot of VHS tapes of them. I got this set yesterday and there are noticeable cuts. The extras are good, but am pretty disapointed. There is going to be a Vol 2 sometime in 2006, so we can only assume they are going to be more directors cuts in that one too.

It would have been nice if they had released a one disc version of this set containing only the "new to dvd" episodes, videos, and special features for those of us that have the TL discs and the History of.

Just Tell Me One Thing Flat Out????
Does this DVD set have the music videos 'IN' each episode, or are they cut out? I mean, do they have the few sections an episode where they sit on the couch and comment on the videos in between antics?? If it doesn't have the music videos 'IN' the episodes, I won't be buying it. So I want to know, this way I'm not wasting money.
Can anyone answer me that please??
Just say 'yes' or 'no.'

There are 11 (I think) music videos on the 3rd disc. I was up in the air about buying it, but decided to buy it partly because of the free book you get at Best Buy. I have it, but haven't seen it in years.

I wonder if that rumored "Mike Judge Edition" of Office Space (which may never come to DVD, but he's mentioned it a few times) will alter the film in any way. After all these changes, it wouldn't surprise me.

If he does alter it, I'm definetely not buying. I have the original version of Office Space and the box set w/ flair. How freaking hard would it be to just release the original versions of Beavis and Butthead on DVD in season sets. I understand that having the music videos in there would be a problem, but it would not be hard to release season sets with extras. Me and several others would be waiting in line to get that. These directors cuts are bs and are uncalled for.

Can someone clue me in on these music video issues? If the show was able to play all the videos during their airing on MTV, why can't the same be done on the release? Does it have to do with the fact that the videos, in a sense, would be "sold" also to the public and they would want a cut of the profit?
