A few things to consider... - Some music rights are not available at any price. You may have Bill Gates' bank balance behind you, but if the rights holder refuses to grant you a licence, there's nothing you can do. So it may not be Disney's fault. - It's not exactly difficult to get...

They lopped rather a lot out, didn't they :-(

And some music isn't clearable at any price - AFAIK it isn't currently possible to clear Beatles recordings at all. Whether this also applies to cover versions of Beatles songs is something I don't know - hopefully not, or else a lot more Muppet Shows are gonna be cut. What's odd about this...

Have you checked against the MC guide? The Kermitage guide's listing does not match the MC one and IIRC the MC one is accurate. In fact, since the list of edits is growing longer, would you be able to post a list of episode running times, please?

Music rights wouldn't explain the Newsflashes... It does seem a bit odd, especially since the uncut Vincent Price ep was released by Time-Life not so long ago. Still, these things do change :-(

In view of the news that at least two of the shows have been edited, here's a list of the correct running times for the season: Juliet Prowse 25'29" Connie Stevens 25'26" Joel Grey 26'02" Ruth Buzzi 25'20" *Rita Moreno 25'07" Jim Nabors 25'29" Florence Henderson 25'25" *Paul...

I'm not sure about Wayne/Wanda, but both Newsflashes were added to the show at a later date, so it's not impossible that they grabbed the wrong tape there, but there's no way the Vincent Price ep should be missing an entire song!

I wouldn't put anything past TCM... :-P In that case, it may be a policy decision on the part of Henson and/or Disney, or perhaps the convention is different in the case where the original rights holder no longer exists (ATV/ITC still exist, albeit under different names). It may even have...

Who says they weren't credited on the UK versions of the shows? All my Season 2 tapes are the non-UK versions, unfortunately, so I cannot confirm whether Louise and the others were credited in the UK.

You obviously didn't see my post above ;-) The left-hand credits were prepared for the UK broadcasts; the centered credits for the non-UK sales. As such, all 120 shows exist (or existed) in both forms right from the start. All the left-hand credit rolls credit the guest star; the only...

Nothing. There are two versions of the movie, that's all. See my posts earlier in this thread for details :-) Cut?

Figured :-) I'd like to know where that shot came from...it's not present in the original broadcast version of the show...

It's nothing to do with the running time. Disney hold the rights to the show. ITC do not. No copyright holder is going to include an invalid copyright text on a commercial product, even if it's followed by their own. Removal of the ITC logo is as you point out, not possible. But it's...

Well, I guess that's about as close as we'll ever get to seeing the original - at least it's a shot of Zoot in the orchestra pit :-) Have you checked the Kaye Ballard show yet? On the original, this has a different ending... Excellent! :-) (I assume the answer to the question was "Jack...

Zoot blowing the "hit!" logo out of his sax was added in the early 80s after Henson acquired the rights from ITC. The "Sax & Violence" ending was done some time around 1990 (and was still on syndication copies in 1998), with the plain "JHP" logo replacing it in the late 90s. I'm not familiar...

1) The vast majority of the original endings use the same clip of Zoot (the clip was changed for Season 3 onwards). There are a handful of exceptions; the only one in the first season is on the Kaye Ballard show. 2) There was absolutely no chance that Disney - or anyone else - would have...

They *all* got credits.

Very interesting!

Yes; generally speaking, all copies of the show in circulation today are the non-UK (centered titles) versions. The exceptions are: Ruth Buzzi Rita Moreno Florence Henderson Candice Bergen Avery Schreiber Ben Vereen Phyllis Diller Vincent Price Valerie Harper Ethel Merman Harry...

Pretty much my thoughts when I saw the aforementioned broadcast set :-)
