What's up with TV Land?

The movies they show arent the BAD R-rated movies, althought some of you might argue that all R rated are bad.......but as stated before (same as on TBS or FX, or any station) they are so cut down, pretty much anyone can watch them

The Family Channel shows edited R-rated movies too.

It's all a rights issue when it comes to things missing.

Yeah. Which is why I was surprised with the SNL set. I mean, there are some pretty big performers on it. You've got ABBA, Gordon Lightfoot, Kris Kristofferson, Paul Simon, Art Garfunkel, Billy Preston, Randy Newman, Patti Smith, etc. I'm sure one of the reasons why there aren't a lot of extras (aside from screen tests) is because the DVD company shelled out the cash for the various rights to the artists' music and image. Which is fine by me. When some of these episodes were released on VHS in the 80s, some of the musical acts were cut out.

The set also includes the classic Polaroid camera commercials (which probably haven't been seen since their original broadcast). The host and/or cast member would appear mid-way through the show, and demonstrate live, on air, how the then-new Polaroid instant-photo camera worked. Someone would take a picture, and the home viewer would get a look at an actual photo taken just seconds before. These could have been easily ommitted, too, but were included in their respective shows.

tell me about it.. even when they show Robin Hood: Men in Tights (which is only PG-13) they butcher it so much, it's unwatchable

Definitely, Robin Hood: MinT is pointless when cut! Lol

I once saw a heavily cut version of Young Frankenstein. Didn't really make much sense.

How Can You Cut Up Young Frankenstein?

Easy. You just take a scalpel, and cut a little here...then you take some scissors, and cut a piece there. Next, make sure you have very large knitting needles, 'cause you're eventually gonna have to do some major sewing, and then...

Oh, you meant the movie?

Yeah, well it runs about 1 hr. 45 min., and was squeezed into a 2-hour time slot with plenty of commercials. Plus, some "naughty" bits were eliminated.

as long as you don't put Abby Normal's brain in it when you're done, everything will be just fine... right?

Now they're censoring Three's Company, too? Sheesh!

To make matters worse, the current DVD editions of The Cosby Show, ALF and Mary Hartman Mary Hartman are the SYNDICATED episodes! 3-4 minutes of each show are missing!

Actually! All Casey-Werner Shows. (The Cosby Show, Rosanne, A Different World) Are supposed to be unedited from season tow up. Just Saying.
