I finally got to watching this on Netflix, because my dvr somehow got deleted and noticed that one of Gareth's line was edited. It's when he tells Richard how he likes his women, they kept the part of unhealthy skinny, but edited out fat, really really fat.
Was this line offensive to the overweight and it was deleted? And anyone noticed any other edits done with this show? I think I caught another edit, but without my dvr I can't confirm.
Have to watch it again but from what I remember when i rewatched the series on Netflix it was still there. Remember him making the comment too to Madelana in regards to it about needing to lose weight or gain a bunch.
shareI have only watched it on Netflix and I recall that line about skinny or fat.
shareI think the scene was in the first episode where Gareth said the very fat line, and yes it was edited out for some reason. Then in the last episode where he told Madalena she needs to loose a lot of weight or gain a lot of wait makes more sense if they didn't edit that line. Good thing I still have the original broadcasting. Now I need to watch both and compare, I don't think anything else got edited.

I just saw that episode last night and the skinny/fat comment was there.
shareI haven't watched it on the Netflix, but it sounds like nothing's been cut, you've merely confused dialogue from two different episodes. In the pilot, Gareth calls Isabella "plump" and goes on to proclaim that he likes women who are "skinny - like, really unhealthy skinny." The fat fetish wasn't introduced until later. In "My Cousin Izzy" (I think), Kingsley asks him what's his type and he replies, "Either really fat or really skinny, nothing in between." Then in the season finale he tells Madalena, "You're gonna have to either lose or gain a lot of weight." There was at least one more reference to his weight obsession in "Giants Vs. Dwarves," where he talks about the Executioner's daughter, who's "heavy as an iron pot, but she don't compare to my gal."
I wrote this off the top of my head (it's kinda sad that I can quote the show!) and I could be off on a few words or episode titles, but I'm absolutely certain he didn't say anything about liking fat chicks in the ABC version of the pilot.
Agreed... My kids and I have watched the DVR versions so many time they have started singing along like it was a midnight showing of Rocky Horror... but in the pilot he never mentions any fat fetish only that he likes his women skinny... fat came later.
