If anyone is still following this thread, AMC cable channel is showing The Godfather Saga this Saturday (03/03/12), starting 9:00 a.m. (Central Time). The TV listing said the television miniseries, not the theatrical movie version. I, too, wish they would release the DVD version of this particular edit, it was interesting how they had it be in chronological order. Also, FYI, there will be a (book) prequel to The Godfather released in early May, I am anxious to get this. I agree with all of the comments about The Godfather being the greatest movie ever made, I would have to say the novel is at least one of the greatest books ever written, in my humble opinion. It's unofficial "sequel", The Sicilian is a close second (it had Michael Corleone for part of the book during his exile in Sicily which makes it kinda like a sequel to The Godfather). Too bad the much touted plans on making a 4th Godfather movie fell through, I am possibly one of the few people who thinks that part 3 wasn't really all that bad

Why is this not already available? I really want to see it but I can't spend all Saturday watching it and it would have taken up my entire DVR to record it all in HD. Sucks you can't just buy it.

Almost uniformally got poorer reviews when the first two were edited together.
Go for them first two seperately or all three together. The Blu-ray version is great and often available at a decent price.

The TV Novel version is great. The additional footage adds incredibly to the tale.
