Second only to an actual DVD release, this is the best thing that could happen w/ DW.

I'm very excited. Thanks for the heads up, Pav!

An excellent decision on Ion's part. They might be able to create the "classic TV" network that is so depserately needed today.

Don't count your Sugarbaker interiors before they're designed, y'all.

I don't know if you've watched much ION, but they show very poor prints of "Alice" and "Amen"---and we viewers know there are much better prints out there. I'm not a fan of "Amen", but I've seen it on TV One, and it is MUCH better quality on there than on ION.

And "Alice" is so dark and drab and lifeless-looking---not like the brighter, more vibrant shows that TNT used to air.

Not to mention, they butcher up the episodes with so much editing that they're a mess.

So while it's great someone is showing DW again, it may not be that great overall---we'll have to wait and see.

In the meantime, Nick @ Nite is airing DW 4 days a week at 5 am---check your guide for days and episodes.

I think they are showing the syndicated versions of the show. I actually enjoy watching them on ION than I have Lifetime and N@N. I have only watched two episodes so far, "Miss Trial" and "The Bachelor Auction" and I noticed that in the first one, there is a cut when Julia calls Charlene a "big donkey girl scout" and talks about the bladder pads on the phone, as well as a portion of the cassette grab where Charlene is tossing things to Suzanne. Plus, the syndicated theme is playing, so there's thirty seconds there. I heard the episodes throughout its run was around 23 minutes, give or take a few seconds, so we've never been seeing really badly butchered episodes.

I saw "Heart Attacks" and both the Lifetime and N@N versions cut the scene where Charlene and Mary Jo do the coin toss to speak at the eulogy, and the bit with Anthony entering the hospital is cut on ION.
