DAMM, ION has sliced and diced the pilot episode of Alice so bad tonight-lol Damm, the show has been on 20 minutes and it has already been FOUR commercials breaks. Talk about making room for more commercials, ION has taken that task to a NEW LEVEL!!!!!!!!. Well i guess a badly chopped episode is better than nothing

Brian Damage · 04-02-2007, 08:04 PM

What do you think of the show?

Chuck89 · 04-02-2007, 08:10 PM

I knew that there would be edits,but ION sure did edit out a lot,IMO. (The AOL In2TV episodes are uncut)
They cut to a break in the middle of a scene with Alice and Flo in the diner and came back in the middle of the scene with Alice and with the guy pretending to be an agent.
ION did leave the tag scene in(in S1 some of the episodes had a tag scene)and showed the closing theme announcer and split screen free.

I'm not so upset about not having the network anymore.This made me feel a lot better

I don't think it was that bad. There was no commercial break after the opening credits, so they really only added 1.
I watched it on AOL, and they cut out three minutes of stuff, making the show run about 22 minutes, which has always been the standard for syndication.

Also, there didn't seem to be any time compression, and they showed the credits full screen.

The video and audio quality was great.

So far, Alice is getting a lot better treatment than Growing Pains did.

OUCH, Irene!!

You're brutal!

Mr. Television · 04-02-2007, 11:36 PM

and he was the original Tommy from the movie Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore. That was a great movie but I'm so used to seeing Philip McKeon as Tommy anyone else looks strange.

Lots of chops in this episode and on my channel the color green seemed to be very dark and blury but any Alice is better than nothing.

His name is Alfred Lutter (I believe). He also guest starred as Buddy's study partner in a second season ep of Family.

I guess no matter what, the best Tommy was Phillip Mckeon.

No argument here, Irene.

Well think God he is only in one episode

ahafan02 · 04-03-2007, 01:09 PM

The pilot ep was oddly edited...especially fading to a commercial right in the middle of Flo talking..very irritating but I'm wondering if ION had to do their own editing of this ep since it was really never shown in syndication. Hopefully the other eps are better edited.
