Default Metv edited

The Facts of Life episodes on Metv are edited.
I watched IQ today, it starts with Mr. Bradley walking in.
They skipped the beginning with Mrs.Garrett talking to the girls.
Blair and Sue Ann bring in a tray of snacks. The girls attack.
Then Mr. Bradley walks in. Also a scene between Blair,Sue Ann, and Nancy is edited. I have the dvds. Yet I still watch them on tv.

Logo airs 18 minute episodes of Facts of Life so I doubt it.

I have raised this question before but never got an answer. I have heard of Logo, but do not know a whole lot about it. I do not know if I can pick it up on my system. Is it a gay network?

It was, but now it's more general entertainment.

Everything on MeTV is edited. I think they also used to speed up; however, I think they only do this on openings and closings, now. Some of the scenes were too obviously sped up.

When they have the network or DVD version of a show, their standard length is 23:00; otherwise, they still use the old standard syndication length, around 22:30. They are THE BEST in episode lengths (other than the Starz Encore nets or Canadian Comedy Gold). Most of their edits are pretty good. On FOL, I'd guess they have a syndication-length episode from Sony, so probably it was already edited when they got it. I ought to copy one and see what they're using.

^Yep. If you copy it, and take out the commercials, you'll find an episode time (on that one) of 23:00. Original episode length is over 25 minutes. Like I said above, their editing is usually pretty good (and for BB, they would be the ones who edit it, since their original source appears to be the commercial DVDs).
