Addams Family (The): Volume 1 (1964-1965) UPDATED

Post by Brent_Reid »

In the comparison for this, it's claimed that the US set suffers a couple of small song edits that the PAL sets don't. I posted this info on Wikipedia and someone has queried it, saying they couldn't find the cut songs on the UK set either.

Can anyone who owns the UK set check that it is definitely uncut and, if possible, supply the timings of when the songs appear?

I looked closer at this one yesterday and couldn't find anything. Updated cut section to say unconfirmed.

Hi Sam,

If you have the UK set, Wiki details exactly where the cuts should be:
[Edit: Annoyingly, nothing I do will make a direct link work; must be something to do with this forum's security settings...]

Quote:
"The Region 1 release has two edits to the episode "Halloween with the Addams Family". They are of two scenes featuring Morticia singing an altered version of the song "It's So Nice to Have a Man Around the House" ("It's So Nice to Have a Thing Around the House"). The cuts were made because MGM/20th Century Fox could not obtain the U.S. rights to the original song; these scenes remain intact on the UK Region 2 and Australian Region 4 DVDs."
