I got the season six dvd over the holidays, and I was really disappointed that the cold open for KOI POND wasn’t intact. That cold open made me laugh so hard for just silly reasons. If they are going to edit future seasons to be politically correct then I won’t be a future purchaser of any consecutive seasons that are released on DVD. The last really good season that they had was season four really, I mean fall down laughing…
If you’re as angry about the scene being deleted as I am, here’s the email to which you can complain: ushe.consumerrelations@bydeluxe.com
At least we can tell Universal we won’t buy their products anymore because we can’t trust them.
I’m so glad I came back here and read the comments. It was driving me crazy that the Haunted Warehouse was missing from Koi Pond. My brother-in-law commited suicide by hanging 4 years ago. However, I saw the episode as a joke. It’s a comedy, not a drama, not real life.
Haven’t had the cash to purchase this yet, but I’ve seen a lot of anger over the missing Koi Pond cold open. I suspect it has to do with all the teen suicides in recent months. It’s one thing to be irreverent (as the show has always been), it’s another to be seen as making fun of a tragic trend that is getting worse and not better. I give them credit for their sensitivity. I laughed at it even just now as I rewatched online, but I stand behind their choice to not include it if they felt that was best.
To #294:
Yes, it can be found in the bonus features. Unfortunately the DVD set doesn’t not include any of the webisodes found on Hulu. :(
You can actually watch the actual Koi Pond cold open here.
Just received my Season 6. The Koi Pond episode is missing the entire Halloween intro. How do we get refunded?
Can anyone tell me if the promo code for the $10 off a bobblehead is a universal code that anyone could use or is it a unique code to each dvd package?
Well, I got an e-mail today that said my DVD from Barnes and Noble had been delayed again! The expected ship date is tomorrow, but by accepting, I also agree to a 30-day wait period “in case of further delay.” I decided to cancel the order and just go pick it up at Target. At least I’ll get the bonus disc for my trouble…
Speaking of Koi Pond – is the security footage that was posted to NBC and Hulu included on the DVD?
I just wanted to add a comment on the Koi Pond episode. I was just looking at the descriptions for each episode and Koi Pond’s mentions the Halloween cold open – which I thought was a little odd. Also, on the menu for that disc that the episode is on, there is a picture of some characters in their Halloween costumes. I hope we can get an answer soon to see what is going on!
Crap! Just bought it from Target from a shelf where they said their DVD set had the bonus DVD . . . then it turns out my copy didn’t have the bonus DVD. Why wouldn’t all their copies have the bonus DVD? And what do I do now?
Since the Target bonus disc seems to be sold out online, can someone with that edition confirm that the extra scenes in the extended episodes are also in the deleted scenes of the normal DVD/Blu-ray?
The extra Koi Pond content added to the episode are an extended conference room scene where they discuss other things they do not want people to mock them about. The other is a scene between Dwight and Michael in Michael’s office. Both are also in the deleted scenes section of the DVD as well as available in their entirety on nbc.com

I’m just like you with the DVR erasing. I just erased all of mine too except for Koi Pond. I want to keep the Halloween cold open. Maybe I’ll just burn it to a disk myself since they couldn’t put it on the DVD. :(
Just a guess, but I assume that NBC made them remove the Koi Pond cold open because of Michael’s fake hanging. Apparently people complained about it (which is ridiculous).

I had the same trouble with my Blu Ray disc 4 also. Being a newbie to blu ray, I didn’t know if it was my player or the disc. I called Best Buy and they said it was the disc. I returned it and the new disc 4 worked fine. So then I started watching the episodes from Disc 1 and the same thing happened during Gossip and Niagara :( Guess this will be getting returned too.
Those that wondered, the Target bonus disc is a standard dvd when you purchase the blu ray package.
And anyone know why the Halloween cold open was cut from Koi Pond? I shelled out the money to own the season, I should be able to see it in its entirety. The full episode is on hulu-plus, but not on the hard copy? That’s bull.
Regarding the extended scene:
I thought the Yonkers branch closed :S
I lucked out when it came to purchasing the Target edition — after there weren’t any specially-marked sets at 8 PM on Release Day, I conceded to purchasing the specially-unmarked Target set anyways. To my surprise, I found the Target bonus disc inside when I opened it! So, apparently, not all special packages are clearly labeled.
