Every once in a great while they will interrupt their commercialthon with a whopping two minutes of a One Day At A Time episode. Better than nothing I suppose.

I also thought about that. AntennaTV would run it in the format of

opening credits
commercials
beginning of episode
mid point commercials
end of episode, closing credits (the credits would be crunched, but I never cared about that)

I had a feeling this network might chop it up much more.

It's bad on Antenna TV and it will be even worse on Logo. Too much editing, commercials in wrong places, and credit crunches or no credits at all. Shout really needs to release a complete series on DVD.

Someone jump the gun? Contract issues (A Sony Favorite)

Bad enough AntennaTV just took the show off.

Logo is one of those channels that loves to show series in such blocks that even if you like the series, you won't by the time the block is done. The also do ridiculous timeslots like 7:38 to 8:24 to squeeze in even more commercials, or at least they used to. When they aired Facts of Life, it seems like they showed the same group of episodes over and over and over and over. It's a typical Viacom channel, giving you less for more. Originally airing gay-oriented programming, it now just shows old series with a supposed gay following, or failing that, series that any gay person might watch, which, lo and behold, are the same as straight people! Talk about channel drifting, Logo has drifted right off any map, and is now drowning in episodes of All in the Family and Roseanne we've all seen three million times.
But, as has been said, it's better than NOTHING (are you listening, Antenna TV, I'm talking to YOU!!!!!).

I think sadly that only applies to the ones connected to All in the Family. But the Norman Lear sitcoms will be rested in late 2017, per Antenna on Facebook. I hope ODAAT didn't expire, but they haven't said anything. If it did expire, it sure did quietly, kind of like when The Dick Van Dyke Show expired from MeTV.

I do understand the gay following for One Day; I was being especially vicious with my critique of Logo. Showing gay-followed shows wouldn't be so bad if, as you said, they didn't hack them to pieces! It's One Day at a Time, not One Minute Per Commercial Block.

They started showing Green Acres less than four months ago but now it's long gone. Granted, I never watched a full episode on that channel because they make it a terrible viewing experience.

Sadly, editing is a fact of life these days, but there are different types of editing. (Times are after commercials)

1) Editing by the Studio/Syndicator - done with care - you get most of your half hours (25:00) cut down to 22:30 on average. These were done in the mid 1980's when new prints (VT replacing 16mm) were put together. These ranged from lines to full scenes but plots were intact.

Although watching a "Mork & Mindy" is odd as there's audience reactions to lines cut and no reaction to funny stuff by Robin. Viacom cut full small scenes, Paramount took lines and intro/extros. The Viacom edits are the best, they took care especially with PERRY MASON (A Show where bad editing would hurt 45:00) and THE TWILIGHT ZONE. (22:30) Scenes that were references in the next scene were usually the ones removed-trimmed by Viacom. When CBS Television Studios (Viacom Successor) Created edited HD masters for Broadcast over the last few years, they mirrored the 1980's edits for the most part

2) Additional editing by the channel - here's where the fun is - clueless editors who take no care in keeping the plot intact where some episodes run 21:00 from the already edited studio prints!

Cliff was good until he got Sally pregos. Thennn it's really no wonder he was written off. Valerie wasn't probably thrilled either with the writers on that one.

Cliff was a "stock" character (The "Cool Tough Guy") and is it any wonder he was written off (Contractually?) after his 6 appearances? (Was he signed for 6 over the two seasons?) At least he went out with a strong episode so it does make you wonder if they knew he wasn't coming back and this was not just an after thought. In the end, the character had value.

We (and by we I mean me) think he never came back because they broke up when Valerie cheated on Scott.

6 episodes sounds like a contract number to me, regardless of any personal relations the two may have had and it was just convince he wasn't contractually bound for future guest spots.

I agree with you and me. He may have originally signed for 6, but would have been extended if real life hadn't gotten in the way.

"TV's Sweet Teen-Starlet cheats on co-star boyfriend and gets him fired from TV's Top 20 Show!

Val was 17-18 at the time, you know how girls are at that age. There's more to the story 41 years later than anyone will ever know and what Val did was for her own reasons we should respect, even if we don't agree and it shatters our image of her "Character" because of how the "Actress" Behaved in her PERSONAL life.

Yes, he was on before Season 4! ;) I just read JP's IMDB and like my Michael ,along with acting he also made a very good career for himself as a director!!!;) :)

IDK about John Putch, I assume he is or has been married in real life. But as Bob, yes in a Season 8 ep. Bob takes a wife in "Buyers remorse " a REALLY FUNNY ep., one of my favorites! And Max WASN'T EVEN in this ep. and I STILL say it's one of my favs. So that means it was really good and funny! ;) :D :wave:

The Editing on LOGO is insane! "Jealousy" had the whole first minute edited!

A Skillful editor could do a better job tighting thing up. Then there's the end scene/writer-director credit with the screen shrunk to 2/3 with the remaining credits over black background rather than the standard white lettering on no background, with the screen regular size on the bottom other Norman Lear/Sony Shows use on other channels. Sometimes action in the last scene is happening! *Face-palm* Not sure if Sony or Logo is doing the editing.

Remember those minisodes Sony used to put together cutting shows down to 6 minutes a decade ago - boy do these come close :)

Only for Valerie would I put up with this. :)

...and we lose AntennaTV in the late spring when the station goes off the air so if it does come back, I don't get it. You know how it it is, a show is picked up and you say to yourself "I'll record it next cycle" then there isn't one

I was actually referring to the first season episode (#3) called Jealousy(12/30/1975) The one where The girls become friend's with Ed's model girlfriend (Who ironically isn't the girl he marries)

50 minute seconds from the top after credits
45 Seconds original end credits

Accounts for 1 Minute,35 seconds

I'd have to do a better comparison to get a clock-down of the remaining time, but I'm starting to suspect time-compression.

The Editing can drive one insane when they have worked as a professional editor.

They took the easy way out - beginning and ends of scenes - it is the sloppy way of doing it. This gives you A LOT of non-CBS Fade ins and fade outs. The proper way is tighting scenes - removing the odd line or reaction, or if needed pull a scene that is referenced in the next one.

Here's an example - Scene A Character is only in a scene briefly with no dialog important to the plot then leaves to go to the library This is removed, so you come up with your fade in starts with scene b without the character with the first plot elements kept and then onto scene c where the character returns from the library kept intact - so you get an edit without hurting the plot. THAT is how you do it - you remove some of the non main plot elements.

i'm still not 100% sure they haven't taken time compression to these as well

Not too bad. They don't crunch credits and play them intact on tv shows which is what I like although sometimes they speed them up on movies. As far as editing, I don't think they make any extra edits. Just the syndicated versions they get from the distributor. I don't really know how most of these shows originally aired since most were before my time or when I was a small child. I mainly just watch Laff for Empty Nest and occasionally Roseanne. I also watch movies once in a while if they have something I like.

-It's cool to see the show have legitimate commercials. On Antenna the show felt like filler between caged, chained up dogs and kids with cancer.

-The commercial breaks may be tedious, but I've never live-watched it, so I just zip past them.

It's not big things, but little things - lines of dialog, tightened up segments.

Like in "Barbara's Friend", the dialog about The Glass Giraffe was tightened up and if you didn't know the uncut versions (or less cut version) you wouldn't know it was missing.

It's about being a surgeon, not a butcher

Has anyone noticed that banner that runs across the top of the screen advertising Rupaul during One Day at a Time? We have it my area and it's so distracting. Wish they would run it across the bottom of the screen, if they have to run it at all.

They run it at the top so there is room for spot promos on the lower part of the screen if you noticed.

http://deadline.com/2017/03/rupauls-drag-race-moves-logo-vh1-viacom-series-shift-1202032976/

Last night 4/14 at 8pm they put up a title card and music directing viewers to watch RuPal on VH1 - for the complete length of the broadcast - They sacrificed ad time (20 minutes) on Logo for higher ad rates on VH1.

Viacom is so messed up! Is there any wonder CBS,inc (which is the whole company - broadcast,network,production,library,Showtime except Radio) doesn't want to reemerge with them!

Bad enough there's more skipped episodes of ODAAT coming up - I emailed them this week about it and haven't heard a reply. You know the channel is streaming on the logo.com website 100% - no blackouts (except some ads are replaced with on-line ads or promos) Just log on, go to WatchLiveTV link at the top of the page, and enter your provider.

So, as I've suggested before,and until otherwise, perhaps some episodes of all the series they are running are not cleared for streaming. Who knows which unions - WGA,DGA,SAG/AFTRA might be involved. Got to be a union issue since it's affecting shows from several studios and syndicators.

Anyone has a better theory? I mean since the 1950's stations and Cablecasters have runs syndicated (off-net) shows from the first to the last
Why in goodness name is logo bucking the trend?

Logo bastardizes every classic show they air. How can anyone watch Logo unless they are the key demographic? All of the advertisements running during shows and horrible edits are the reason I do not watch this channel. I would much rather them run several thousands of commercials than advertise while a show is on, especially if it takes over the screen.

I have bought several DVD sets due to Logo's ruining of classic television. Every time they mention the addition of another classic show, I cringe because I know that it will be butchered beyond recognition.

I have the complete series of ODAAT from Comedy Gold and Antenna TV airings, so I have no need to waste my time watching the garbage that Logo presents as One Day at a Time.

But it's the only version currently available on TV. Think of it as we're starving, but the only thing open is Taco Bell.

Don't forget, the show had a gap of 16 years between domestic TV airings (E! and AntennaTV!) and we're lucky Logo is running it this close to Antenna who only has one or two runs left and not even complete runs due to the marathons - plus they are losing affiliates (including Boston!) due to stations settling their spectrum bandwidth back to the FCC for wireless broadband use. (They've pulled my postings on their page when I push the issue regarding a new affiliate) We can't be sure it will be back on AntennaTV in the fall regardless of what they say,or how they might run it.

Logo might be the last "New" station to air the show ever. We might be seeing the end of ONE DAY AT A TIME (Which I'm surprised didn't go into moratorium with the new series in production - the one SMART thing Sony has done!) - No official DVDs due to whatever scuttlebutt of the week (Sales,Music Clearance,backlog at Shout!/Sony) I will never understand how one of Norman Lear's most successful shows gets so mistreated. It lasted longer than "Maude" and "Good Times" and did better in the ratings as well.

Some of us for various reasons have no choice but LogoTV and can't get the "Homemade Sets" (Let's call them what they really are, "Canadian Bootlegs")

(Yes, I watched the show on AntennaTV but when I was ready to record, they took it off, and when/if it comes back, they won't be on in Boston Anymore - that's the thing, an old school tv collector like me was used to the old "It'll be on for a few years" and turns out it wasn't)

Who knows, maybe by the time Val and Mac start to get Social Security the show will come out on DVD!

Yeah it is a tragedy that One Day At A Time hasn't gotten a complete series release. Shout Factory was my last hope of seasons being released.

Every excuse in the book has been used - sales of season one (which wasn't a strong season but a good start), clearance of music in a handful of episodes (I can think of 5 off the top of my head), Not enough interest, the masters need work (er, Logo went back to the 25 minute masters and made new edits - the shows look fine), etc,etc,etc.

This show is Norman Lear's 3rd biggest hit (After "All in The Family" and "The Jeffersons") and has been mishandled by Sony big time. You'd think they'd at-least put it up on Crackle.

Let's hope Logo has more than a couple of runs in on the series - and considering how they are running it (Most Season 4-5 episodes have had, or will have two runs so far by Wednesday Afternoon) it might be the case.

Norman is still alive (92!), but he doesn't own an interest in the shows anymore (He sold Embassy outright) so not much he can do.

Ever wonder about the "origin" of the series, the back story leading into the first episode...

What led to Ann and Ed's breakup - the actually event that was the boiling point.

The first time Ann Meets David at the Law office (Mentioned)

When the girls were told about the divorce and later the move, and their reaction.

When David suggests Ann moves into his building when she says shes moving her and the girls into the city. (It's implied he lives in the same building, there's an episode where Ann calls David and asks him to "come right down" and a minute later, he's there - so he lives on the 5th Floor?)

The first time Ann (and the girls) meet Schneider (Which we know he keeps a picture of in his wallet)

(Let's just ignore the inconsistencies in the pilot like Schneider being married and accept he was always as he was presented in the series after the pilot)

Did I forget anything?

Forgot the Apt. Number :) - problem with the show is it was never exact in how many there were. Had to be a decent number (of various sizes) to need an in-house Super.

But we also know (at least in the early seasons) there was a parking garage either under or next to the building. We've had references to "Down in The Garage" but Schneider also makes reference to his Camper being next to the building so it must not have made the entrance clearance for the Garage - even the Super must have a space or two for himself.

Looks like some days most or all the sitcoms are not on for movies and RuPaul reruns, but usually only a day or two a week,and sometimes not at all.

Week of the 1st is all sitcoms. The usual 5-6 episodes of ODAAT/ALICE a day.

They've just about passed the half-way point of a first run on ODAAT along with a block of second-run cycle.

Tentative advance listings for next week show the show looping around after Season 7 back to Season 1 on may 10th in the morning after airing the rest of season 7 overnight - with the usual skipped episodes! Wed-Fri is Season 1 complete. Perfect Fit, and some of those are due to air on Sunday May 7th!

What is listed now shows some major skipping around for Season 7 for some reason. (13 episodes skipped - more than the average of 6) Clearly they are holding back episodes for the outside slots or next cycle as we've seen in the past. Why they program like this it's beyond me.

Not the first time they did something like this - they did the same thing to Alice - Ran to a point, looped back and then continued where they left off.

So we've got weeks of second,and in some cases 3rd runs. They are showing additional airings as well, such as May 13 3:30am-6:00am But as always, everything is tentative.

I prepare the weekly log on Sunday to account for any changes that may occur, including episodes skipped,added runs,pulled runs,etc.

I wonder if they are still editing seasons 8 & 9.

YESSSS!!! Exactly! I don't know how people can support Logo -- hackjob edits. TOO many edits that have no thought put into them WHATSOEVER -- 18 minute episodes -- yeah, go watch butchered episodes of ODAAT. I still have faith Shout Factory will put this out unedited and remastered unlike Logo, who edits themselves and turns up the brightness and DOESN'T remaster it. Yeah. Hopefully Shout will eventually cave in and release it -- maybe after they finish Diff'rent Strokes. One can hope. Logo is pure and utter trash for hacking ODAAT.

Doesn't take that long to thoughtlessly hack out whole scenes of classic shows and add on-screen garbage and yadda, yadda, yadda. I don't know why you treat it as if Logo's better than Antenna for running 19-minute episodes of classic shows! But you do you and I'll do me. Who knows.

Editing regardless by what channel or network or syndicator has been a fact of life since the 1980's and it's only going to get worse.

How long before MeTV,AntennnaTV start hacking away for more commercial time on classic TV Shows? It's only a matter of time, no pun intended. 99% of their line up are the 1980's edits as it is. 22:30 and 45:00 before commercials. Some 1950's and early 1960's shows actually clocked in as much as 25:30 and 51:00!

COZI is mixed depending on the show (The Danny Thomas Shows were hacked down to around 21:00 minutes (Those ran as long as 26 minutes!), while others still clock in at the 22:30 and 45:00 mark - although the average on COZI is 22:00 and 44:00 for the Universal/MCA-TV shows. DECADES is mixed based on what the studios supply.

It's a simple fact the days of uncut classic TV Shows have been over for some time and it's only going to get worse till they realize they have to do what GetTV has tried - Uncut but longer slots 40 minutes for a half hour,70 minutes for an hour - sure it's less episodes but they get the same extended commercial time.

I just understand how things are. The place to speak up about editing are on the Facebook pages and viewer response emails of the channels - sure it might not do much, but at least they will hear it.

Oh, and the average time compression is 4% - anything more throws the pitch off too much.

MASH is currently on MeTV,TV LAND and WGNA and I'd bet all 3 are running different edits!

Actually, some of Antenna's shows like Small Wonder and Mr. Belvedere, are completely unedited except for some of Mr. Belvedere's unaired episodes. Doogie Howser, M.D. is another one I believe is unedited, along with Wings and Becker. So some of them ARE unedited, and I highly doubt any of them will start the Logo/TV Land general Viacom trash practice anytime soon. Antenna only started credit crunching so they could get more money to acquire more expensive shows -- Alice, Murphy Brown. I will agree with you on COZI, they're terrible, but they do show FRASIER unedited at the very least, with complete end credits. Some of them are just a mixed bag, BUT Me-TV DOES, in fact, edit some of their own shows like The Brady Bunch, Happy Days, The Beverly Hillbillies, Rhoda, etc. that obviously come from uncut masters that Me-TV subtly edits from DVD masters. 99% of their masters are 1980's cuts? They're not. Some are, but a vast majority are their own edits made to the show. They've gone on record saying that. We'll see when ALICE and SILVER SPOONS come to Antenna, how their edits differ from those on Logo. Antenna may have made some of their own to ALICE, but they don't hack as bad as TV Land and Logo. And Me-TV's airings of M*A*S*H are edited themselves, so they don't seem as obvious as the standard prints.

Logo is still a hackjob btw. What makes it even more sad is that they have a crapload of money and yet -- still need commercials? Why don't they just back away from the classics and let Encore Classic or whatever it's called, air them UNCUT?

I know that Me-TV speeds MAMA'S FAMILY up, for a fact. And also when they ran it, BOSOM BUDDIES' theme song was sped up and slowed down too. That was directly taken from the DVDs. Mama's Family is not because you can tell that it has all its original music on Me-TV. ALF apparently is from the uncut masters but Me-TV makes minor edits. As for others, I don't know but I do know that shows like THE BEVERLY HILLBILLIES (Seasons 1-4), THE BRADY BUNCH and some others were directly taken from the DVDs -- like how DORIS DAY and FAMILY AFFAIR are when they run those because you can obviously see the MPI logo at the end.

And also -- Me-TV's editing that they do themselves is infinitely better than Logo's because they actually care about the preservation of classic TV shows and Logo just cares about screwing people over with bad edits and 30 minutes of commercials every hour. Logo is screwing ALICE and ONE DAY AT A TIME over by hacking them down, not "tightening" them. Ok, ok, so Logo restored Barbara to "The Maestro" and restored a few measly SECONDS to "The Nearness of You". But let's actually talk about what they HAVE cut out: apparently MINUTES from "Barbara's Friend", among others.

Now let me ask this question: instead of talking about what Logo has restored, let's talk about which episodes they have completely screwed over --- such as removing every Barbara scene in one episode!

I mean, it is my favorite show and all, but they play it every day (including weekends too) and the network doesn't even bother to shuffle the episodes around, just simply choosing to air the show in order by season instead.

LAFF just airs the show way too much along with all the others. What happened to the rest like Grounded For Life and Funniest Pets And People?

Actually, some of Antenna's shows like Small Wonder and Mr. Belvedere, are completely unedited except for some of Mr. Belvedere's unaired episodes. Doogie Howser, M.D. is another one I believe is unedited, along with Wings and Becker. So some of them ARE unedited, and I highly doubt any of them will start the Logo/TV Land general Viacom trash practice anytime soon. Antenna only started credit crunching so they could get more money to acquire more expensive shows -- Alice, Murphy Brown. I will agree with you on COZI, they're terrible, but they do show FRASIER unedited at the very least, with complete end credits. Some of them are just a mixed bag, BUT Me-TV DOES, in fact, edit some of their own shows like The Brady Bunch, Happy Days, The Beverly Hillbillies, Rhoda, etc. that obviously come from uncut masters that Me-TV subtly edits from DVD masters. 99% of their masters are 1980's cuts? They're not. Some are, but a vast majority are their own edits made to the show. They've gone on record saying that. We'll see when ALICE and SILVER SPOONS come to Antenna, how their edits differ from those on Logo. Antenna may have made some of their own to ALICE, but they don't hack as bad as TV Land and Logo. And Me-TV's airings of M*A*S*H are edited themselves, so they don't seem as obvious as the standard prints.

Logo is still a hackjob btw. What makes it even more sad is that they have a crapload of money and yet -- still need commercials? Why don't they just back away from the classics and let Encore Classic or whatever it's called, air them UNCUT?

I meant to say 99% of the pre-1983 shows - my bad :)

By the mid-1980's TV show were shooting 22:30 for a half hour and 45:00 minutes for an hour so of course those shows wouldn't need editing. The Editing of shows, as well as shorter shooting lengths began around 1983/1984.

What the studios did with the older pre-1983 around 1984 was recall all the old 16mm uncut prints are replace them with high quality 35mm to 1"/Betacam/U-Matic edited prints - that is why all of a sudden the older tv shows looked better. At the same time,shows shot on VT were given a similar treatment of new edited masters.

This also explains the flood of old 16mm TV prints into the film collector's market. I remember the ads in THE BIG REEL when you could get good deals on old prints. Not to mention all the empty studio film reels and storage canisters/plastic cases you could pick up by the bagful.

MeTV isn't doing All the editing on The Brady Bunch, Happy Days, The Beverly Hillbillies, Rhoda, etc. - the studios are supplying the edited prints - MeTV might take a few extra seconds here or there, but all masters from CBS Television Syndication,20th Television,etc are being supplied in "Syndication Length" (22:30/45:00 - or even a notch shorter)

What The Studios did was make new HD syndication prints following the edits done in the 1980's when they upgraded their uncut masters to HD for DVD. But it's the studios, not the network supplying the basic edited shows they are working with.

CBS Television Syndication for instance, (which is also the TV libraries of Paramount,Desilu,Viacom and Spelling) over the last decade and a half have gone back and made HD transfers uncut from the original elements (Which are used for the DVDs and Uncut broadcast markets) - then recreated the edits from the 1980's to have syndication length HD quality masters. but nothing is "Taken from DVDs" - same original source,yes - but side-by-side.One set for DVD uncut and the other edited for syndication.

(I do believe the episodes of "The Twilight Zone" SyFy runs have been cut shorter (no surprise there) then the 1980's syndication length ones on MeTV.)

Here's an interesting read - The CBS Syndication bible - click on the "LIBRARY SERIES Section" then chose any classic series to get an idea of how they did/do things syndicationbible.cbstvd.com/

Pick a series and you'll see how they handled it. Some of the current half hour syndication printers actually were cut to 22:10! Many of the sections do list syndication length and even commercial breaks break-downs. It's a fun read.

It is most likely that Warner Brothers Television has prepared a fresh set of 22:00-22:30 length episodes of ALICE for AntennaTV. MeTV is running 77 SUNSET STRIP at around 46 minutes (Down from 49:00-51:00 as aired!) Which is the average length for an hour show from them.

(Oh, they may be using MPI's prints of FAMILY AFFAIR, but CBS Television Syndication still owns the syndication rights)

Me-TV uses the uncut episodes of THE BRADY BUNCH -- for further instance, watch the first episode where the "The Brady Bunch in Color" moniker is restored. That is NOT in syndication. That is the DVD prints, straight forward. Rhoda obviously is not the DVD prints, my bad, because the pilot had the first scene with Mary and Rhoda at the airport was on Me-TV, not on the DVD. They also mysteriously skipped over a bunch of episodes for some reason. They look pretty good too. I wonder if they got ahold of the prints Comedy Gold in Canada is using and edited a few seconds here and there. If you time it, a good majority of Me-TV's shows clock in longer than syndicated version. For example, I've timed a bunch of their LOVE BOAT episodes and they always came to be around 46:30(!) If Logo can get a hold of "uncut" episodes, then there's absolutely no reason we shouldn't believe that Antenna and Me can't either.

Also Me-TV said that actually, M*A*S*H is their OWN edits on their Facebook at one point -- and a number of other shows as well. And so is The Andy Griffith Show,as a number of people say that Me-TV leaves more scenes in that TV Land takes out. So, I just use the rule of thumb: old syndication prints typically have Paramount's mountain logo at the end, and the new DVD versions have CBS Television Distribution instead. So believe what you want, but this is the truth.

Also, I believe MPI has the TV distribution rights to their series as well.

Actually, those ARE the syndicated length - Quote from the CBS Syndication Bible/Guide...

The updated 1 Hour syndication version of The Love Boat has six, 20-second pulled-up breaks and an average program runtime of 46:30. Internal commercial load is 12 minutes (24 :30-second spots) plus local end break. (These would have been 48 minutes on ABC)

The 90 Minute syndication version of The Love Boat has eight or nine 20-second pulled-up breaks and an average program runtime of 70:30 to 74:00. (These would have been 75 minutes on ABC)

But at the end of the day, editing is editing no mater who does it and no matter how much or how little, it's how things are. I've taken the time to post on MeTV's Facebook page to ask them to clarify how they handle their shows to clear things up so we have all the facts together - let's see if they respond. :)

Let me clear my position up:

From a Technical Standpoint - the visual quality is better- fresh digital transfers from 42-35 year old 2" Master tapes which are better than the 35+ year old analog transfers that make up the Embassy/Sony tapes, some that were prepared for CBS daytime! Generational wise they are at least two or three from the master VT.

From an editing standpoint - Yes, it's a drawback, but I accept it for what it is and the needs of the broadcaster/cablecaster/diginet - no different than the reverse for the channels running shows current syndication length,1980's syndication length or uncut.

I think may it be edited on computerized auto-pilot or whichever, it was well done TO FIT THE NEEDS OF THE CHANNEL. Just as many pivotal scenes as you call them have been kept and "filler" have been removed. It's no different then script-editing at the last minute if you think of it. Perhaps not the best choices sometimes, I will agree on that.

We could start 209 threads picking through every episode and every edit between the syndication prints and LOGO but what is the point? We know different choices were made,and the bulk of the syndication prints were edited While the show was in production (For the CBS Daytime and first block into syndication while the show was in Season 8) and oversaw by the production team. True post production script editing by the people involved.

ODAAT ended on the cusp of the era between shows running 25:00 and running 22:30 .

The fact the show is out there on another outlet when it spent the bulk of the last 16 years (post-E!'s airing) in the vaults of Sony domestically is better than nothing. What did we have pre-AntennaTV? Comcast's early on-demand service in the late 00's for a period, the edited down minisodes and an odd station in Chicago. Who'd guess after a long period the show would now be on 3 channels, in 3 different formats?

Let's also not forget edited or not, whichever members of the cast, production staff (or estates) who receive residuals are getting payments again. So that is something.

For the record, I don't like editing, but I accept it's a fact of business and TV is a business.

We'll never agree Sven, so again as I've said, our views are stalemated - but it's a pleasure to have civil discussions on the subject as it's worth discussing.

I mean, I guess what I'm trying to say is what I'd do is probably speed the theme song a bit, not too much to throw it off or whatever -- and trim transitions/gaps that aren't really needed -- and maybe handfuls of seconds here and there. That would still bring it to the right runtime, but the edits would be less painfully obvious.

And also, I don't like what both TV Land and Logo do to classic TV shows. I respect that you have a different viewpoint, but I've seen editing both done horribly (case in point TV Land and Logo's ALL IN THE FAMILY and ALICE episodes), and done fairly well (Me-TV's shows).

Logo is still a hackjob, whether they restore a few seconds here and there, etc. and then remove two-minute scenes, yadda yadda yadda. It doesn't matter.

You've got the right idea - however 4% pitch variance is the most that can be done before it's noticeable when speeding up, but if it is used just on the opening and closing (if closings are kept and not replaced with on-screen text) it can gain a few seconds that doesn't have to be cut from the show.

The problem is the studios don't want to spend the money to make fresh "New" versions - with different edits that work better than what was done in the 1980's. Digital technology makes transitions and cuts so smooth and clean it "looks right" and better choices in what to keep and what to snip can be made. They just want to work/copy what was done in the 1980's, and then some,so they look the same - or in the case of LOGO and TV LAND, new edit crazy! We all know that even at the running times they have cut to, different choices could have been made. There has to be a middle ground.

But It's unlikely to happen. Heck, Sony won't spend the money to work on "The Farmer's Daughter" so it's unlikely the 4 majors (CBS, Sony, Fox, Universal) will go back to scratch on 1000's of shows.

I love "The Twilight Zone", but the editing is so noticeable, and the current prints are now 22:15 and 46:30. "#12 Looks Just Like You" and "22" are two episodes that are a prime example of how editing affects the story. (The Hours actually don't suffer as much.) When editing was left up to the stations, Rod Serling before he died complained - he must have been rolling over in his grave when they made the official cuts in the 1980's

It's crazy, 20+ years ago people praised TV LAND for running mostly uncut shows - SONNY & CHER ran 51 minutes! - which they did well into the end of the decade. Even Nick@Nite was also mostly uncut for it's first 5 years. Now the topic is about how much and how bad editing has become.

Even DVD isn't immune - the odd missing material on the ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW and BATMAN DVDs!

I've heard about The Andy Griffith Show DVDs some eps are missing tag scenes. I don't know if they're restored on streaming or not? And there are others mostly CBS edited for music clearances, or they were just lazh about it. Happy Days Season 1 has all of its music but 2-6 have edits everywhere.

Get TV runs Sonny & Cher Hour now so I wonder how their editing is? I've watched DESIGNING WOMEN a couple of times, and they have the re-typed credits. It's unfortunate that even DVDs have to suffer sometimes because of music clearance -- Shout! Factory had to cancel a few because the music people said no. Like Blossom and Werewolf, and it wouldn't have been easy to replace the music without ruining the audio track completely. Very unfortunate.

The Editing on LOGO is insane! "Jealousy" had the whole first minute edited!

A Skillful editor could do a better job tighting thing up. Then there's the end scene/writer-director credit with the screen shrunk to 2/3 with the remaining credits over black background rather than the standard white lettering on no background, with the screen regular size on the bottom other Norman Lear/Sony Shows use on other channels. Sometimes action in the last scene is happening! *Face-palm* Not sure if Sony or Logo is doing the editing.

Remember those minisodes Sony used to put together cutting shows down to 6 minutes a decade ago - boy do these come close :)

Only for Valerie would I put up with this. :)

...and we lose AntennaTV in the late spring when the station goes off the air so if it does come back, I don't get it. You know how it it is, a show is picked up and you say to yourself "I'll record it next cycle" then there isn't one

I remember this well:) :wave: ;)

Get TV runs Sonny & Cher Hour now so I wonder how their editing is?

The show runs 51 minutes unedited, so you can figure how much is cut.

TV Land (LOGO's sister channel) cuts Gunsmoke and Bonanza episodes (originally about 51 minutes too) to 37-38 minutes.

Is Andy Griffith edited?

Yeah. Once I timed an episode and it was only close to 17 minutes instead of 26!:eek:

I watched an All in the Family episode once on LOGO -- big mistake BTW. I didn't time it like I did with Alice , but it was the one where Mike goes picketing and Archie mistakenly gets arrested. They edited out several scenes that were important. Ugh.

I wish Logo would just stick to the unedited prints and(if needed) speed the theme up a bit so it's down to only like 24 1/2 minutes(maybe over). Then add 5 minutes to the timeslot...run ODAAT commercial-free...and then run commercials for the next 10+ minutes. Logo usually runs 11 minutes in a half-hour anyway.

I watch Logo a lot. But I am disappointed on the way they run shows. In fact, all the Viacom stations are bad. Ex. I watched Saved by the Bell. They came back from one of their commercials. And what I mean by that, is they took the commercial break at the wrong time. Well, anyway, they come back from commercial and literally 3 minutes later, maybe less than that, they took another commercial.:mad:

The thing I hate most about any of the shows on Logo is the excessive amount of RuPaul commercials. The exact same commercial airs about 4 times within the same half hour. And, I absolutely hate the commercial because it uses God's name in vain over and over. I usually hit the mute button when it first comes on.

I'll never understand why the GD word is allowed on TV while the S word frequently gets bleeped.

Logo looks to be removing ODAAT starting October 16th and replacing it with extra ALICE.

I have a theory: what if Logo is responsible for the hacked up episodes (90%) and Sony is behind the "new" Season 9 episodes on Logo- not Logo themselves? Sony made wonderful prints for Antenna that didn't cut much out- just strategic edits (I timed and they are an avg. of 23:30 on Antenna).

Butchered is more like it. ALICE is 18 minutes out of the 25 1/2 it used to be--18 mins on LOGO--same with ODAAT. They edited each episode down to about 18 1/2-19 minutes removing pivotal scenes and key dialogue moments. I'm GLAD it will be removed from LOGO!

It's only on Thursday, October 19th at:
(all times Eastern)
1:28am
2:00am
2:30am
3:00am
3:30am

Must have extra runs to burn off before it expires or something. Either way, I'm glad. Antenna treated it way better anyway by keeping a lot more in than Logo. Sure, Antenna's syndication prints cut a few seconds here and there -- but they were very strategic edits made by Embassy/Sony not some person standing around wanting to ruin other people's joy of a nostalgic classic.

I love ALICE, but I wish the same so we don't have to deal with the butchering on LOGO. I can't wait till it comes on Antenna.:wave:

I have cycled all the way through the show now on Logo. I know I have complained about Ann, but all in all, this show had a good run for nine years. The quality never declined to a point that it was unwatchable. A lot of the credit for that goes to Valerie and Pat for me.

Before Sven pops in to tell you how horrible Logo is, I think they still run it but have moved it to early morning EST.

I hope that ODAAT gets removed by late November on LOGO... NOT the right channel at all!!! Ugh. On Halloween they're butchering some movies.
