Slide in Seventeen Again so we can forgive them for all the CUTS!
This is truly a great buy.
HOWEVER...
If you are a true Sister Sister fan and grew up with the show like I did, there are alot of disappointments in this set.
If wouldn't be a Complete set without...CUTS! They seriously took a lot of the funny out of some episodes. Starting with season one working all the way down to six.
A lot of nitpicky music cuts were made. Thus making scenes shorter. Some are very noticeable like when the girls all go to the beauty salon in season 2. Lisa says they could be the new En Vogue and they sing a 5 sec chorus of "Never Gonna Get It". CUT! There's way more cuts throughout the season. and the first.
In Season 4, the episode "Cafeteria Lady." Tia has a vision of Lisa doing a musical number...CUT!
Season 5, a beautiful dance b/w Jordan and Tamera. The song is suppose to be "Play Another Slow Jam." It's some whack hip-hop song that sounds not 90's related AT ALL! Like seriously guys. COME ON!
But the one cut that pissed me off the most, THE MOTHER OF ALL CUTS...was Season 5, Graduation, when the girls and their friends and practicing their walk, and then they start to have fun a do a little rendition of George Clinton's Atomic Dog (Bow wow wow yippie yo yippie yay). Lisa comes in and starts getting down with them and they all look at her like she's crazy. THE FUNNIEST BIT ON THE SHOW AND IT WAS CUT!
I want to write a letter I'm SO PISSED!
I wish I could understand the way copyrights/license to things work. If a character even references a song it has the potential to be cut.
If you have any questions, just write me on here.
This was just a small quick summary. I wrote stuff down in detail of what I noticed.
