I was just wondering if all of the bonus features listed here from the Rhino Set was ported over to the Shout Factory set?

Rhino Set Bonus Features

Rhino Season 1 & 2
Commentary tracks on episodes 23 & 26 by writer/executive story editor Christy Marx
"Play Songs" Feature
Interview with Christy Marx
Interview with the voice of Jem, Samantha Newark
Public Service Announcements

Rhino Season 3, Pt. 1
Commentary tracks on episodes "KJEM" and "The Talent Search" by writer/executive story editor Christy Marx
Interview with the singing voice of Jem Britta Phillips

I was also wondering if anybody could tell me if the set was edited, because I had read somewhere on a Jem fan site, that the set was edited from the initial airing on TV?

There are only two problems with the Rhino sets that I've ever noticed:

- The episodes are color corrected (wrongly) making Pizazz's hair brown instead of green.

- The original Jem theme is replaced on most of the episodes by the later Jem girls theme.

Other than that, the episodes look like their unedited. I have the VHS of the original Super Sunday shorts edited into a feature length movie, and the 5 part pilot from the weekday run adds in a LOT more to fill out the time.

On my TV, Pizazz's hair does look green in the Rhine set, so I don't have that problem.

However, I agree that the intro-music replacement is awful. That's the only flaw in an otherwise perfect set. (Well, that and the fact that they never got around to releasing the second have of S3.)

I HATED the packaging and artwork on the Rhino sets, but at least the quality of the episodes was great like you said, and the extras were all amazing.
