On my Toshiba 4900 the discs play fine, but from the second episode on, the opening theme song doesn't play correctly for the first few seconds (the time clock and a few seconds after that). Popped it in my Sony player and the audio plays fine.

Thanks for the post. So are these "uncut" times of the *original airings*?

Since you can play them no problem, can you please check the running times of the episodes (if not all, then at least the first three or four -- though all would be better!)? It would really help to solve whether or not the episodes are cut, as some of us are wondering. Probably best to test on your Sony player, just to be safe. Thanks!

Looking forward to hearing back...

Okay, since no one bothered to do this, I took the dvds to a friend's house and got the running times by playing them on their computer. I did just the first eight episodes:

1 - 20:55
2 - 19:15
3 - 21:57
4 - 19:28
5 - 19:39
6 - 20:36
7 - 21:17
8 - 21:16

So this is in keeping with what whotony posted about his encodes of the first three off of Canadian tv. But the question then is, are those cut? The episodes that are under twenty minutes seem suspect -- but maybe they were actually that short when originally aired?

Thoughts?

Picked this up for $15 today!

The DVDreview says that an episode that was confirmed cut, is on the DVD as originally aired, so I (hopefully) doubt they were edited.

Theres also an add for Season 2 coming soon! Cant wait!

Not a big deal, of course (it literally is the speed of a blink), but I wanted to make sure it was on all copies and not just mine.
Watched this episode last night and I can confirm that this happens on my set as well. It's so fast that it didn't really bother me too much.

READ A BOOK!!

Well I can't say whether they are cut or not, but I had always thought that the Simpsons was never really spot on with length of a show, and that might play into whether they used the full intro or the abbreviated intro.

Whatever the case, every episode is just about 20 minutes of funny.

Got it at WalMart; Im pretty sure it was a misprice though since another WM had it for $25! I had to go back to that original to get it for $15

Any word on releases for Season 2 or 3?

I hope they can include the episode that was missing from the Season 1 set too. Any news on that front?
