Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Annoying Edits
Another song edited out. The episode "Your Mother Wears Army Boots" has Martina Arroyo sing For Once In Your Life to Howard Cosell at the end, with Oscar lip-synching along with her in a very nice moment in the show. The edits are very fustrating. These are supposed to be DVDs of the complete episodes. If there is time and place to show them complete and intact it should be in this format. I'll admit...all throughout the five seasons DVD's I have noticed they added little snippets of scenes I never saw on TV during syndication, but I think Paramount loses credit when they edit out other parts.
Rating:  - Music edits again bring the rating down
Sadly, the worst edit of all was removing Oscar's "Singing In the Rain" bit at the end of the scene in "Felix Remarries" Five to ten seconds of this song was too expensive to leave in the show? It completely changes changes.

Rating: - The Roy Clark Show
I just finished watching this episode from season 5 with Roy Clark guest starring on WPIX. Brian May I think is the smartest and greatest guitarist of all time, but when it comes to accoustic guitar, I don't think anyone can beat Roy Clark. This episode features some of the best guitar you will ever hear, especially the last scene. It's a real shame WPIX has cut out that part the past 10 years. I actually am going to buy this DVD season just for that part. Also in this episode is the tear jerker "Yesterday when I was young" that Roy also sang at Mickey Mantles funeral.
Rating: - Aside from the edits (grrrr!) - it's nice to have the Odd Couple on DVD
