As noted above, initial home-video releases of ''The Brain of Morbius'' used a heavily edited omnibus movie print, with a running time of less than an hour. This was apparently in an attempt to make the serial acceptable for young viewers (in the US it was released on Playhouse, a children's imprint of the CBS Fox label). This edit was heavily criticised and eventually an uncut version was released (though American viewers had to wait a decade). Similar edits were not released for other serials. | As noted above, initial home-video releases of ''The Brain of Morbius'' used a heavily edited omnibus movie print, with a running time of less than an hour.
