It will be nice for it to have tv exposure again, it's been off national reruns for way too long

It was recently run here but the hatchet jobs on the episodes was appalling. One ep went for 15 minutes and if doesn't sound incredible enough, another one, my all time favourite too boot, went for 7!!!, yes, 7!!! minutes. So I don't bother watching it on TV anymore, I just get my DVD's out for my Gilligan fix.

Yeah, I remember you posted a transcript of an episode with all the cuts or something like that, pretty pathetic. Realistically I probably won't watch it on Me-TV since the DVDs are outstanding, but I will be nice for the national attention again. Me-TV is pretty good, they have edits, but they aren't too bad, nothing like what you have

As Frank Barone would say, "Holy Crap!" SEven minutes??? What the heck did they do to fill in the rest of the time. ALL commercials? I admit MeTV is good, to a point. I noticed that many of the S3 eps of "That Girl" were uncut. I have the DVD set and compared certain episodes yet they did hatchet jobs in S5. Especially when they would use crappy transitions instead of wipes or dissolves.

At least MeTV airs the ending theme song to shows. I HATE squeeze backs!!!!
