TV Land: Butcher More

B

Braves2005

TV Land is back to butchering more of their shows again. This time, The Andy Griffith Show is the target when the episode "Barney And The Mayor" was shown this morning they cut out the part where the new mayor visits Andy at his home complaining about no one guarding the prisoner at the courthouse (Barney in jail covered up in a blanket) and then Barney seeing the mayor come back and throws the feather duster in the air and knocks down the chairs getting back into the cell again. TV Land has shown this part in the past but it's further proof that TV Land would rather butcher up a show to make room for commercials for THEIR own shows (Hot In Cleveland, Happily Divorced, etc.)

Not only this but certain episodes of Leave It To Beaver are missing from TV Land all of the sudden. The episode where Beaver and Richard play hooky from school on the eve of their junior high graduation and their diplomas are missing and the last episode "Family Scrapbook" seem to be gone.

It'll be something what TV Land will do with I Love Lucy starting in June whether they'll butcher these episodes to where you'll know what they have left out or butchered.
 
If you like watching classic TV the only way to do it today, without getting the episodes butchered or bugged, is to buy the DVD set. One or two months of overpriced cable will usually more than cover complete sets of these old classics which are far more enjoyable to watch in their original form.
 
That, and you can watch them at your own convenience.......

We don't have an Antenna TV affiliate in Greenville, SC unfortunately :(

But we got MeTV and ThisTV.
 
Hartford/New Haven has AntennaTV via WTIC-TV 61-2 of Hartford and ThisTV via WCCT-TV 20-2 of Waterbury/Hartford. We don't have ME-TV.
 
As for one who has never had cable TV, I have to say it is great having the services like Antenna and MeTV. Cut the cord and go OTA!

We've got RTV and THIS here but they both bug their screens and have a ton of repetitive commercials.
 
WCTV has run Andy Griffith for several years at 9 am on weekdays and the show gets higher ratings in that time slot than the other local stations. The station got the show on a cash basis (no barter spots), though the episodes only have a 22 minute TRT.

But you miss out on the commercials for Dinks Academy, Higher Education for Dinks, Dolts and Dumbbells, that air at 4 in the morning. ;D

Based on what I've read here, I'd much rather miss those commercials.

... except if that classic TV show is "WKRP". Even Antenna TV will throw viewers a bone and play a song that was actually played in the original series every now and then... :p
 
We got ME-TV here in San Antonio in April and thats all that we watch now. I even hooked up that govt sponsored DTV converter box to my main set so that I can watch Peter Gunn, Car 54, Svengoolie and Sunday Night Noir. The big 3, cable and satv are full of the stuff the that fills cesspools, but METV airs all of those good ol' wholesome shows with a moral lesson at the end. The major cable and OTA nets can take their one sided progressive immorally oriented foul mouthed sleaze agenda based programming and install it in wherever their perversion desires. Thank you KSAT 12.2 DTV for finally giving us something we look forward to and enjoy watching.
