Cuts on "Close Encounters of the Worst Kind" - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

In case someone doesn't have the DVD, I compared ION's to the DVD version. There was about 3.5-4 minutes cut, all from one scene. After Alice was chopping up the lettuce, they argued a bit, then quit speaking to each other, with Vera doing the talking for each one. Then the couple ("Bunny" and "Squirrel"

) came in, Flo was on the phone, so Alice had them move to her station (which would lead to a scene later on, when the cops came in, Flo said "There she goes, stealing my customers again").
At least they left the water splashing scene in. E! cut that part out on their airing. The last commercial break could have been handled a little better, instead of doing in the middle of the role reversal scene.

Thanks for the heads up! I knew Bunny and Squirrell had more to do then what they did on ION's version.
