I only know the AMC versions, haven't seen the DVDs yet, but yes, all that stuff you mentioned was right there. Which is one of the reasons the show is great and I can't wait to see the new episode tonight.

I'm with you on the "waste of time and money" side regarding all this stuff. I never had a manicure or pedicure in my life and I learned how to cut my own hair about 20 years ago, because the whole production a hairdress…

I never had a problem throwing stuff out. I find clutter so annoying.
