For certain parts of the year, such as summer, I am in the States so I have TV Land. But you're right, in Canada it's Comedy Gold and I think they do a better job of not over-editing stuff. For example, the way shows would air in the US 10 yrs ago in syndication (so, approx 22mins - aka syndicated cuts but not over-edited ones like now where the runtimes are around 20mins) is the way they are in Canada. But what's absolutely TERRIBLE is our Canadian stations only acquire 1-3 seasons of a show for the entire year so even if Fresh Prince is on everyday on Comedy Gold they may only be airing seasons 3,4, and 5 for example all year.
