How Much of LITB is Edited Now? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

LITB does seem to be less edited than other shows currently on TV Land. Does anybody know how long the show ran during its original run (# of minutes) I have noticed some small cuts in the earlier episodes. In "The Bank Account" (I think this is the one--correct if I am wrong please) where Wally and Beaver have to leave the school grounds at noon to buy Ward's hunting jacket. Beaver says, "Wally...how'll we sneak out? Mr. Johnson always watches the back door?" Wally says, "Oh, we'll sneak out through the girls door, he never watches that door." (The following is cut) Beaver says, "How come Wally?" and Wally answers, "Well...cuz girls never do anything bad."

I have some eps recorded from TBS, and I noticed TVLand doesn't cut as much as TBS did.

The original episodes were atleast 25 minutes (without commercials) and the episodes TV Land airs are around 22 minutes I believe, so there is a good 3 minutes cut out of every episode.

Although my example isn't about LITB, I'm going to use the Honeymooners. They are "uncut." They're the only half hour show on TVL that runs for 25 minutes. Were they 25 minutes during the original run, or 28 minutes?

I think it was 25, but "I Love Lucy" was 24 minutes and TVL shows all 25! Isn't that strange!
