Subject: Why is it when a movie is shown on regular TV...

like say 'Police Academy' or 'Jaws 2' we see scenes that we can't see on the video/DVD? They call these the missing scenes or what have you.

My guess is that after the editors finish chopping the film to bits making it suitable for television it ends up being to short for the 2 hour time slot. They then end up having to add some stuff that originally ended up on the cutting room floor.

Some scene may still not be suitable for the time of broadcasting, so the stronger scenes are cut out.

Many films used to be (not sure if this still holds true) regionalized. If you saw the film in say, the bible belt you may not see the same scene, as if you seen it in NY. The version that's show on network TV will have scenes that the network censors deem to have the broadest appeal and highest rateings draw. Gotta sell that ad time! w

what's irritating is when a movie isn't meant for kids,why do networks like the Turner ones insist on bleping out every swear word and pixillating boobs and such?
