Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I don't understand how a re-release of SOAP on DVD gets screwed up again. First, as others mentioned the discs were put in paper cases, something you would find for a game that would come with a computer from 1995. Now I was still willing to give this 4 or even 5 stars if this were a complete series but it's not. Yes, they did add the intros and outros to every episode which is an improvement over the last complete series release. One episode is still the syndicated version but ok. However, the show is still missing entire scenes. The second half of the 4th season had hour long episodes. These episodes on the DVD are the syndicated versions (cut down to 30 minutes). I would have more than OK with that but the syndicated episodes cut out full scenes. Most fans do not realize there are deleted scenes missing on the DVD because they grew up on SOAP in reruns or just don't remember. If you had the VHS sets from Columbia House you would have seen these deleted scenes. What's even more puzzling is that that there are three full hour episodes on the DVD set. These episodes were also split into 30 minute episodes for syndication. The set itself is very inconsistent. SOAP is one my favorite shows and I would love to one day own the entire series on DVD with the 4th season having hour long episodes in their original form. Then again if you never knew these scenes were missing then you probably are willing to give the show 4 or 5 stars which for your purposes is cool.
