Adam 12 on COZI TV

[MarcB]

Has anyone watched Adam 12 since the show moved from ME TV to COZI TV? COZI is pulling a TVLAND with the show. No not by sticking an extra 6 minutes of commercials in it, but by cutting to a commercial break in the middle of a scene rather than at the appropriate break times. It's kind of jarring to watch the show and see where they're supposed to go to a commercial break and they don't. They also have more commercial breaks during the show than when it aired on ME TV. They also edited out the closing credits aside from the part where the hands hammer "MARK VII Productions".

Also Dragnet's contract was bought by COZI....It is all $$$$ and who has the contract for OTA syndication.

Me-TV has claimed they run the show as provided to them by the provider but I have caught them in the past running an episode of a show and then later editing out a scene or two the next time the same episode runs...(they do cut a lot scenes on the original, remastered Star Trek episodes..though on M*A*S*H, they actually leave certain scenes in that are usually cut..such at the end)

They do the same thing with "Maverick", "The Avengers", "The Dick Van Dyke Show", and other programs.

Considering that Cozi is owned by a broadcast network (NBC) their on-air presentation is a disaster. Given that said network is owned by a cable company (Comcast) I'm not surprised at the extra commercials.

Amazingly, RetroTV is operated better now than Cozi.

And THAT is saying a lot! Heck, the Bridgeport, CT Me-TV affiliate (when it decides not to air hours of infomercials) is run better than Cozi!
