Dear folks,
Meant to encourage any Berkeley California folk or Bay Area folk in particular, not only Mr.1998, to feel free to contact me. Us actually, there are about eight of us that I know.

At least they didn't censor the cussing in the gag reel (or anywhere else on the DVD, like in the interviews/featurettes). That surprised me. This is a Joss Whedon series, and with the misconception among some that his series are aimed at the younger crowd, I thought that Fox Home Entertainment would've made a big deal about it. Thankfully, they treated the viewers with more respect (or were consistent in attitude by just not caring enough about the series to bother editing or bleeping).

Succatash is probably dead on. I'm sure licensing the "Love Boat" theme was an expense they didn't want. Unfortunately, some other stuff from the original gag reel was cut as well, such as the 360 shot from "The Message," where Nathan Fillion keeps popping up all over the place. That originally had me in stitches, so I'm sad to see that go.

Well, Alan Tudyk and Jewel Staite bring up the scene in their commentary on The Message, so at least it hasn't been forgotten entirely :)

I think The Love Boat was one issue, sure, but that doesn't explain the rest. I mean, c'mon! Alan's babbling from Bushwacked? "There is no place on that woman I would not put my tounge!"
