> A2 Oil (Radical Posture)
Was the ending of this episode missing on the video release?
> A3 Boring (Madness)
> ..., David Rappaport (Ftumm), ...
I thought the character David Rappaport played was Ftumm'ch (or something
like that. Also interesting to note is the episode had a few minutes
cut out of it when it was shown on MTV, so if you'll need to buy the
video release to get the whole episode.
> A6 Flood
And the video release was missing a very small bit that was shown on
MTV.
