THe series actually under went sever waves of censoring. The ORIGINAL Run of the miniseries, before the show was even decided on if it should be folowed up after the pilot, featured a scene that has since been magically 'erased' These single scenes were what got me into the series in the first place.
Basically in one scene The cop lady (forget her name) is being persuid by a SWAT team. The methods she chose to eliminate their threat were, shall we say, rather extreme. One of them she actually pounced upon and held him under water, DROWNING HIM! The second fell victim to a stray bulet and was actually shot in the face! (and killed) Bothe these scenes saw airtime only once in all history. They have been convienently swept under the carpet, burned and shredded a hundred times over :P
Another scene they may or may not show in the ORIGINAL miniseries depicted a burning zepplin. Soidiers were bailing out of it as it was flaming and sinking in the river. There was a good dozen of them still on it when it exploded! It very plainly shows several of the men being killed in the explosion! This scene however, may or may not still exist on the DVDs or in repeates of the ORIGINAL miniseries.
Gargoyles was one of the most violent 'toons ive ever seen before things started to get edited and cut away. And to this day still, youll NEVER find any Garg. themed merchandice at any of their stores or theme parks. Figure that one out :P
Ah well... cool show nonetheless. If ANYONE has the original airing of the miniseries, BACK IT UP! your holding onto gold there.
