Many of the cuts are the same ones everyone has already been watching on television for years, so it isn't too jarring. In some cases, however, the "remastering" has necessitated/made possible a few different cuts and replaced a few bits which haven't been seen for a long time.

Not everyone has been happy with all of the cuts as aired, and some of the usual suspects have been crying "Foul!" since the first one aired, but the general consensus I've seen has been surprisingly positive. Most people seem to be willing to wait for the full versions on DVD (and are hoping that a few of the less-successful tweaks are re-tweaked before the release.)

And thanks for that link, Muddshark. Very informative.

You're welcome. I had a feeling there would be a least one or two around here who'd find those of interest.
