Different versions?


I have season 1 of this downloaded and it only has two episodes both are hour long and some change. But here on the site it says the season has 6 episodes each long 30 min. Thats three hours for the whole season 1. I only have two hours. Do i have the shorter version or what the hell?

When it originally aired on television it was 6 episodes, all around 28 minutes. When they were initially released on DVD, each season was released as a 2+ hour movie with the episodes running continuously uninterrupted.

Later they re-released them in the 10th anniversary set with their original intros and credits as they aired on television. Personally I prefer this format because each episode had a personal intro from Todd McFarland-sort of Hitchock/Twilight Zone style.

The most frequent version found on the net and YouTube is the film versions which is what it sounds like you have. The animated content is the same you're just missing the live action McFarland intros.

So the episodes aren’t really 30 mins long. They’re about 25. This would include a recap, a opening title and and intro from Todd McFarlane. Then you had outro credits. So In reality, the show was only 20 mins or so.

What you have, most likely, is where they took all the episodes and made one king 2 hour or so movie out of it.

That’s what I have on dvd as well
