I didn't know Schindler's List was shown uncut.

Good point.

Heard that as well....i guess they're yankin out a couple of the extremely graphic scenes and any nudity. I look forward to the new footage though, that should be fun.

Been on the fence for getting this set (want to grab the R4 import with the interesting extras) and have never seen the whole thing, so i guess my replayTV will be keeping me up to date and i will prob just end up getting the set.

Back to watching History Channel.

interestingly enough, i just got done watching this earlier tonight. i have had the tin laying around for awhile and had never gotten around to watching it so i popped it in this weekend. WOW!!! i had watched a few episodes on HBO when it was orginallyl on but got sidetracked and lost it. i think watching it all at once helped too as opposed to having to wait a week (for HBO).

I thought even though with the minor language changes none of the emotion or authenticity was lost. I'll be watching again tonight.

I watched the 2 first episodes, got angry that I had to wait a day for each following episode, went out and got the box set and watched the next 8 in the last 2 days.

Very good series.

Personally, I'm able to delay my gratification and wait till the next night. I might get the DVD set after I'm done watching it on tv though.

I haven't noticed any cuts for violence, but it's been a while since i've watched the dvds

Holy shit, I totally forgot Jimmy Fallon (yes the one from SNL) was in this. He was on tonight

Just an FYI, but those that are relying on a PVR to catch the airings should be aware that the documentary "We Stand Alone Together" will NOT be picked up by Season Passes and the like.

It airs on Saturday night.

Why we fight has to be my favorite episode. Very powerful stuff.

Anyone else have a favorite ep?

Probably "The Breaking Point", though I think "Points" is the one that chokes me up the most (at the end).

I think I should break out my DVD set and start watching this again. Best war film ever, IMO.

oh and the violence is edited. the strong explicit gore is black and there aren't any explict close ups on the history channel version. and its TV-14-LV, while the hbo version is TV-MA-LV

You made the right choice. Definitely my favorite box set.
