Current Talk '02 I / Re: Tapes Or DVD?

Sci Fi cutting DS episodes isn't just speculation; I've read very well documented statements about this from fans who watch the Sci Fi channel broadcasts AND own the MPI videos. The most extreme case that comes to mind is an episode in the 1969 Leviathan storyline where Sci Fi cut out the entire teaser act, including the beginning voiceover.
There was another episode where I recall several complaints because they went to a commercial literally in the middle of a scene.
And then there is that ANNOYING logo they insist in putting in the corner!
So, while I'm glad they are running the show (since it helps people who have never seen it get to find out about it), for myself, I have to have my tapes! I'm so pleased because after years of having them stored in boxes, I got some new shelves and put all of them up in order! I positively glow with pride every time I go to the shelf to grab a tape.
Another crazed fan,
Steve
