Worth owning. One of the best, if not the best things HBO has ever done.

They are, however, I imagine it will also include commercials and pretty heavy editing of the 'questionable' language and battle scenes--which is voluminous.

I'm pretty sure that the editing will be light, for language only. I don't own a Box Set, but if I recall the episodes were only 47 minuites long, which leaves enough room for commercials. Spielberg planned in advance about series syndication.

Rip, I'm shocked you have'nt seen BOB yet...what rock have you been under?

Hey, I finally got to watch an "R" rated film for the first time in months! Had to drink a pot of coffee to stay awake past the kids bedtime. T3-Rise of the machines. Overrated. T1 was the best of the bunch.

Do they rape these programs voluntarily or is it required by the law?

Terminatrix was miscast, should've gotten Jolene Blalock from Enterprise.

Jolene

Yeah, 1 was the best, although 2 was good too. A T movie just isn't a T movie without Cameron directing.

Considering the liberal cursing and blood-squirting, and the fact that History Channel is basic cable, I think it's a given. I always support watching the unedited, letter-box version.

FWIW, I just finished watching the series for the second time. It was even better than the first time.
