Question about Diabolical Minds episode - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Noticed that in the "preview" segment for this episode on Amazon, RS speaks at length about Jeffrey Dahmer and the Savings & Loans scams of the 1980s. Yet in the episode, they only show a photo of Dahmer for 2 seconds and the S&L scams are never mentioned.

Are we missing anything in the Amazon episode? Anyone have the original broadcast recorded who could verify?

Just think it's weird they go into so much detail in the preview and nothing in the real show. On Amazon, we see:

John Wayne Gacy
Ted Bundy
Hitler
Saddam Hussein
Marie Hilley
G. Daniel Walker
The Rogers women killing

I’ve never bothered to watch the Amazon Prime version, so I can’t say that they didn’t cut anything. Howvever, I have recordings of the original broadcast from at least three different networks and they all play out the way you described.

Probably just used it as the selling point for the show because Dahmer was the big story of 1991 along with Rodney King. The banks was more just a mindset of people-you couldn't really single anybody out, think it was just used to show it doesn't have to be dictators & serial killers.

IIRC, RS does mention the Savings & Loans scams right at the beginning of the segment, but only in passing.
