didn't disney edit a lot of the episodes?

[wayshway]

Probably just for TV viewing.

[ty3]

so all the episodes should be in there original format with nothing cut out?

[wayshway]

Hopefully, but who knows these days.
I haven't read anything about it yet so that's a good sign.

The info I've received from Buena Vista Entertainment says they are presented in original format.

We'll have review copies, so I'll be sure to let everyone know.
