That these seasons were great. I never seen Soulfood on Showtime, so I dont know if its been choped up like Season 2.....has it be edited? If so does anyone know what was cut out of Season 3-4?????
It's definitely been edited. The back of the DVD cover reads:
"Some episodes may be edited from their original network versions. Some music has been changed for this home entertainment version. Episodes appear in order of their original airdates."
Most of the editting I've noticed has been the music (including the guest singers who appeared). I noticed Nancy Wilson wasn't in the last episode of season 3 (or 4), which was the episode when Damon left Teri, which I hated because I loved her performance. She also sang the song at the end when Teri came back in the house and cried after Damon left, but that song was editted out and replaced with some very crappy song. I haven't paid a whole lot of attention to which scenes are cut out, but definitely the music has been editted. Oh, Ludacris sang "Saturday" in one episode, which was also editted out.
Otengk, I've only noticed the performances editted out. They kind of editted around the performances. They'll play a different song, but never show the performer.
Many series that come to DVD are doing this. It costs so much money for them to secure the copyrights on the music and the royalty payment to the artists, that they are editing out the original music and replacing it with a generic song.
