About those MAS*H episodes in HD on Prime

We always thought our DVDs were uncut. Turns out they were missing little bits here and there in some episodes. So even though the top and bottom of the picture is cut off, there is a reason if you want to buy the season by season packages.

I know this for two reasons, at least I think I do:

1 they are too long, 26 minutes and back then I think they were 24 long

2 i watched every episode over 100 times, probably more and I dont recognize stuff in these, couple minutes worth in each
