7th Heaven
4.01 The Tattle Tale Heart

(IMDB) OT: 7th heaven




One can only tip one's hat towards the publishers of the DVD release of the fourth season of the most long-running series in US TV history. This is because they already state on the box of the DVD set that some of the music had to be replaced or episodes cut and lenghtened with different footage. This is mostly due to the missing rights on the songs, which were only bought for the TV broadcast and not for DVD releases. As it would be too expensive to buy them now, the producers decided on cutting.

French TV Version: 42:39 min PAL
