show his entire dance scene which was Jack Tripper at his best but I sww that I was wrong and N@N really needs to hand this show over to TV LAND or TBS. I just they would atleast show more footage of that particular episode since he was at his best during the show's run. I'm so disapointed at N@N.

I can't believe they are still editing that dance scene. Its the highlight of the entire episode and probably one of the funniest tv scenes of all time.

Exactly, which means i have to cherish my TBS version of Up in The Air since they left the entire dance scene in. I just wish N@N will stop showing that episode

Yeah, I was actually thinking that, too. But I'm glad I actually did get to see the part they cut out because they showed it on one of the specials for him.

That's one of the things that suck about N@N.

And the thing that maskes N@N looks more STUPID is that ABC showed the dance scene in a tribute special but N@N can't show the dance scene in a episode-LOL

I understand where you're all coming from, but I wasn't surprised that Nick at Nite didn't re-edit (or show unedited) this episode. It would have sacrificed advertising time and, frankly, you can't really show a half an hour of television without advertising, unless you're a huge station who can afford to do it once in a while since it's very expensive.

And, if you think about it, if they did it with this episode, people would expect them to do it with a whole block of Jack episodes as a special (which would be awesome).

It would have been nice, and I see where you're coming from, but I also understand the other side of it too, which is why I'm not as upset as I should be...

Yea but in regular syndication the dance sequence is shown uncut. They could have edited something else out of the episode instead of the dance sequence.

That's true, but I don't see N@N spending extra time and money to re-edit an episode that they've already measured out for time and everything. What would they cut out, anyway? Almost everything that's left in is important to the plot of the episode - what did the other stations (like TBS) cut out?

TBS cut out the very beginning. On N@N you see terri sitting on the couch reading a magazine when it comes on. TBS version u see Janet walking through the door in the beginning

That's what I'm thinking. But I guess JWood201 is right.

It was proven by ABC that the dance scene was the most entertaining Jack Tripper Moment and N@N refuses to understand that which is obvious by how the episode was cut.

I saw that special, I won't argue with you. I couldn't breathe because I was laughing so hard at his dancing in that special. During the whole ep from last night, I just kept thinking, come on and get to the dance scenes. I'm glad they at least left in the 'I'm getting down' part. I'd love to have a pic from that exact scene. Right when he goes down. lol

Yeah that was the beginning of the dancing. Very entertaining scene.

I was waiting for it during the whole show!During the tributes,I thought it was totally hilarious!:rotflmao: :mad:

Yeah that really makes me mad that they edit the best parts out.

N@N editing the dance scene is like editing Lucy and Ethel in the chocolate factory. It's a classic scene that needs to be in the episode.

I don't buy the excuse that N@N edits their episodes to create more revenue from sponsors. Oh, I'm sure N@N feels that way...I'm just saying it's ludicrous. The episodes aired in their entirety back in the '70s and '80s, with commercials...why can't the same be done now? Were commercial breaks shorter back then? If so, why not just air shorter commercials?

Also, N@N is one of the most successful cable channels out there, as far as I know. They're popular and they've been in business for as long as I can remember. Not to mention they have a sister channel in TV Land and added revenue from Nickelodeon. And I'm supposed to believe they don't have enough money to air these things in their entirety?

Does N@N edit all their shows? I started watching "The Best Of SNL" and "SCTV" back in the late '80s, but I didn't realize how hacked up the "SCTV" episodes were until they started airing on NBC a few years back. I thought that was just a situation special to "SCTV," since the original Canadian broadcasts of that show were an hour and a half long.
