they shread every episode they show to pieces its pathetic,the last episode of alice was so chopped up you didn't even hear where alice and jolene were going watching tv this way sucks.

I agree, but I still feel it was better than nothing which is what we have now!

FredScuttle · 04-06-2008, 04:55 PM

I guess it was so bad you had to post it 3 times?

I too was thoroughly disgusted with how ION butchered up Alice. In the very last episode that aired Thursday they completely cut out the scene that said what Alice and Jolene were going to do after the diner closed!

I did just purchase Season 1 of Alice today at itunes for my ipod so now I'll get to see them unedited at least.

That's why it's such a mixed feeling for me. I loved seeing the show for the first time but the bad edits could get really annoying. I'm about to check out the show on in2TV soon, so I can see some of the episodes un-neutered.

Well, at least they had footages of Flo on the clips. Even when she said "Kiss My Grits!" was included. So seems like she wasn't totally forgotten. Wonder if she was mentioned in the original parts that they left out in the ION version. No mentions or clips of Belle, though.

I was surprised after timing the length of the alice eps it still came out to 22 min because going by the 5 commercials breaks I just knew the length was 15min-lol

maybe with any luck another TV Land will pick up Alice

Jude The Obscure · 04-08-2008, 02:10 PM

yea, TV land--they would air it maybe one week or so in primetime or afternoon, then bury the show in latenight and then quietly take it off where no one will notice.
