omg, don't get me started on the editing of simpsons episodes. would they ever do that to friends or seinfeld? of course not, because they never have extraneous scenes. the first time i noticed they cut a simpsons episode (homer vs 18th amendment), and homer was making his bathtub alcohol. when he's at the store, he asks to buy 42. the clerk offers him 50 for $5000, and homer says, "i just said 42!" so funny, and i haven't seen that scene in years. that is why i am waiting for all of the dvds, so i can watch every simpsons episode in all of its wonderous glory.
