Nick at Nite editing out crucial parts of episodes - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

this is awful

it's the Princeton interview episode where Will goes in and wins the guy over. Right after he does the rubix cube they cut away to Will and Carlton walking home!

that sets up how and why Carlton does what he does at the interview, how can they edit that scene out?

These editings for Fresh Prince are way horrible. Just when it rejoined, it's being butchered some scenes out, I don't know exactly which episode scenes because I never watched those in my whole life.

The runtime for those editings are approximately 17 minutes. Before that normal runtimes were supposed to be 20-21 min length. This could be due to heavy commercials.

so nick at nite is that cheap, eh?

FuriosityShell · 02-02-2015, 04:57 PM

17 minutes?? Oh that's sad, man. The episodes on my DVDs are usually about 23 minutes long. So N@N has removed 6 minutes of footage?

It may be possibly 17 or 18 min included full theme .. unless I'm wrong I may have to double check Nick at Nite runtimes for Fresh Prince (minus commercial). They are sometimes sped up but in same pitch. The commercials were heavy loading

Nick at Nite has always been botching some or most of scenes in Fresh Prince, Friends (sped up and in high pitch) that Nick at Nite runtimes 19-20 min.

Blackout · 02-03-2015, 10:15 PM

wow, that's MEGA cheap

tenter · 02-04-2015, 02:22 PM

Turns out I was right, for example episode of I Stank Horse (though I never really pay attention much because I'm not a fan though), runtimes for Nick at Nite are 17:30ish min. minus the theme which is 1 min. If I include Nick at Nite runtime Fresh Prince + theme, it may have to be 18:30ish. So this is why I don't trust Nick at Nite. I think same thing goes with MTV.. possibly Viacom renewals.

Yes, it's mega cheap

i hate that horse episode so much. clearly a throway script they snuck in there.

the golf episode was a classic, I never knew that was so close to the end of the series until I got the DVD's in the 2000's. It seems like a regular, classic episode. Season 6 didn't have a lot of those.

I can understand the reason to edit shows for more commercials but when they speed up the pitch of the episodes to add even more commercials is just greedy man. And just how long are the commercial breaks, 5 minutes?

Blackout · 02-05-2015, 12:37 AM

exactly. do they do this with ****ty Friends after?

It's about 5 min. commercial for each break. Friends also has been sped up from the start since Sept 2011, unchanged.

When off the clock, commercial is even extended like 6-8 min commercials..

nick sucks for this

tenter · 02-17-2015, 09:20 AM

I agree nick at nite is worst network that keeps editing most scenes so they could air more commercials

Mark Mallard · 03-08-2016, 07:20 PM

I remember watching "She Ain't Heavy" on the Season 2 DVD after having watched it from my DVR recording off of TBS (I think), and I went nuts once I saw the scene where Aunt Viv caught Uncle Phil prolonging his back injury. TBS (or whatever station I recorded it off of) had cut this scene out! If it wasn't this scene, it was definitely one involving Uncle Phil's back, and I'm pretty certain it was the scene with Aunt Viv's discovery.

I don't know how bad nick@nite was with this show, but I recently compared the airings of it on VH1 with the uncut DVD eps and noticed that certain entire scenes and conversations were missing, like they never existed. I had been used to small tidbits and extended conversations being shortened for syndication, but the VH1 airings of this particular show are a new level of bad. It's not surprising though since they seem to have at least 4 commercials throughout one episode and these commercial breaks are probably 3 minutes (or more) each.

VH1 is the worst
