Well, I am VERY disappointed that Dope was the EXACT same edits as USA!!! I was waiting for them to show nancy getting looked for, for dope or whatever. It was prolly right where they went to a commercial! UGH!!! Plus!!! New Girl Part 1 was ALMOST the same as USA! That's 3 stations that will not show Mrs. G doing her leg lifts on the bed!! ARGH!!!! :angryfire:

Anyways! I just have to share this... somewhat funny thing that happened to me when the 2nd season theme song played... are you ready!?!? I CRIED!! haha!! It still hadn't hit me that FOL was ACTUALLY back on the air. Prolly cuz i was used to seeing later season eps... not first season with it sooooo different! When i FIRST saw FOL, it was a 2nd season ep... i hadn't seen any first season eps until the unhidden mysteries marathon that aired for the 2nd time... but i think i was just SOOOOO unbelievably happy to see MY FOL back on.. that i cried... anybody else have huge emotional attachments to the "Great" seasons!?!?

Toodles! :wave:

Yeah, for me, the "classic years" are the first 4 seasons, everything from Cindy's "Rough Housing" to Jo and Blair's graduation. :) *sigh*

Those are emotional tie-ins for me, too---in fact, I remember postin' about 'em in my "introductory" post here when I first discovered this board... :)

I think that's cool you cried durin' the theme---me, I just got so excited and "grooved up", lol. :D

I hope Breaking Point is edited different because I want to add more to my script!!

Honestly, I know it's hard to resist complaining about Hallmark's way of editing things. They do break into commercials at the most inconvenient times, and I am kind of disappointed that they wait until 5 mintues after the beginning of each ep to break into the opening credits.

On a positive note, they do air some of the best darn classic shows, including FOL, Bewitched, I Dream of Jeannie, etc.

I was just so happy when I heard the 2nd season theme come on, I was like OMG yay! LoL.
Yeah, well, anyways, I noticed that a lot of scences were edited out in New Girl Part 1 but weren't noticable. At least they showed a scene that I think I haven't seen, but I was still kinda dissappointed.
Oh, does anyone want me to post the scenes that Hallmark Edited out? I have New Girl Part one and two typed out on my computer.

I cried too, when I heard the second season theme...but it wasn't on Hallmark..I was watching my N@N tapes the other day...AHHH! Glorious FOL...lol...There was a while there, after i saw the episode where Natalie's dad died, that I couldn't listen to the ending/opening theme without crying..but that's me...lol..

Yeah, see the thread "Here are the teasers!" to see how they edited the beginning to make "teasers" before the theme, to see what are now the "teasers". :)

I just had to apologize for sayin' "teasers" so much in one sentence! :lol:

I know that sometimes people can convince their cable company to add certain channels, but then again, that would probably take a lot of residents in your area to do so. Still, perhaps it couldn't hurt to voice your opinion to them........

You know what. I'm just glad that FOL is on TV. I rather have it edited on TV than sitting in some vault unedited for all of eternity.

I've tried, but I'll keep trying!.

I thought Dope was so freakin' funny!!! :lol: I had never seen it before but it was hilarious. A few minutes into it I wished I had recorded it. That whole part about the bongs and jelly beans, then those girls acting all spaced out. Did anyone else notice Helen Hunt as one of the stoners?

About the Hallmark edits, in The New Girl Pt. 1 today, I don't think NAN ever showed that part with Jo and Mrs. G about using her electrical tape on the flowers. I don't believe I've ever seen that. Hallmark is showing more of the shows than NAN did and I for one am thankful.

Not only that but, in syndication, it is required for 4 whole minutes to be cut out of shows for extra commercials, I believe NAN makes even more cuts. Even when you are watching an I Love Lucy or Seinfeld rerun (the greatest sitcoms ever IMO) they have cut out 4 whole minutes. So FOL is not alone in this situation. If you want uncut, you'll have to wait for the DVD collections!

Same here! I heard about the ep for soo long and was really surprised with what kind of an epsidoe it was. It's probably the best of the season, IMO.

I absolutely loved the bong scene when Natalie said "We just just got 3 bongs" and Mrs. G. was like "Is that a new punk rock group?" LOL then when Tootie takes em out and explain the whole Jelly Bean thing, Mrs G's look is priceless! :D

Overall I give it a 9 out of 10.

I have that part of the ep in my siggy...

in New Girl part 1 I don't remember the electriic tape on the flowers from NAN
i don't remember that either to add that in they took out a part where Mrs. Garrett is explaining to Blair about Jo! :( i always liked that part
-Mandy

I can tell you now, with the exception of the opening scenes before the opening themes, you are getting exactly the same syndicated cuts that USA, WGN and other local networks have used. If you noticed something else, Dope was filmed as the last epsiode of the first season and it aired as the 8th episode on NBC and on TV Land but I remember in syndication it aired as episode 13 the way it should have. BTW, Nick at Nite does show Mrs. Garrett doing the leg exercises. I have it on tape. I have both versions. The cool thing about this cut is that you will be able to see Tootie say "so long turkey" I already have this version too, but I know some of you don't. Enjoy!

FOL was on WGN, when?:confused:

sorry I was wrong.. but I'm still wondering when FOL aired on wgn.

Are you sure about that? The opening scene from Rough Housing on USA has the girls putting up a banner but I've been told that isn't on the Hallmark version. And in the USA version of Overachieving Blair says to Sue Ann, "If you don't stand still I'll paint you flat chested!" but I've also been told that isn't in the Hallmark version... I can't be sure of that because I don't have Hallmark but I don't believe that they are all the EXACT same edits as USA.. and when did WGN air FOL?

That part of Overachieving did air on Hallmark. The part with the banner in Rough Housing aired too.

There was a different cut in "New Girl Part II" that N@N didn't cut out: Molly's last line.

When Margo's mouthin' off Molly says, "C'mon Margo, lay off." N@N showed that, but Hallmark cut it out---real quick snippet. But Hallmark *did* air Tootie's "So long, turkey!!" which I hadn't seen before, and cracked me UP! :rotflmao:

sorry about that.

In Double Standard, they cut out the part where Jo tells Blair Oh, and dont forget to put ketchup on it. Jo said Eat your heart out and they went to commercial.

with the exception of the opening scenes before the opening themes

That would probably piss me off...but im not going to complain, I am lucky enough to have Hallmark(well, tommorow):D

Okay, i have The New Girl Parts 1 and 2 from Nick at Nite AND USA.... and if you ask me.... Hallmark's is EXACTLY like USA!!!! So, are you telling me that all of these epiosdes are in the same format as USA!?!?! UGH!!! and i was looking for DIFF edits on teh contraversial eps.... for crying out loud!!!!
And yes, there was A LOT of scenes or little snippits of things added from Nick at Nite's version in New Girl Part 1... there was the begining with tootie and her panty raid.... Nick at Nite's version started with the girls saying Blair! and running and hugging eachother... there's also the part where jo and mrs. g talk... bummer that you don't get to hear BOTH speeches... there is also small tid bits into the bedroom with the girls talking about the chuga lug... also, the part where mrs. g talks about them fighting after all the girl leave.... however, i do feel that the leglifts and the part where arnold squeels was a little more, crappily cut on USA then on Hallmark... anyways... i wish that their edits were diff than usa.... cuz i have ALMOST all the eps from USA... okay, maybe only 40 or 50 eps from USA... but hey, all the ones where i was like.. UGH!!! USA AND NaN cut that up so now i'll never know what she said.... man, i will never win!!!!!!
