personally i wouldn't vote for a re-edit.
as darren gross pointed out volumes 1-8 edit out the material not specific to the barnabas storyline.i found that very irritating.the other actor's work deserves to be seen too.remember one man's trash is another man's treasure.
and it's only a half hour show to begin with.minus commercials about 23 minutes.i would hope that our younger generation doesn't have such a shortened attention span that they can't get through a 23 minute show.
plus "unnecessary" things like the re-cap,the voiceover,the credits and even the occasional flub add to the shows distinct feeling.
