You Haven't Seen WHAT?!

There aren't many movies that I would want to see on TV for the first time. I just KNOW that too many important elements are missing when I see a TV version. Even if no content is lost, the ALWAYS untimely commercials and pan and scan (a HUGE peev of mine) are enough to ruin any movie.

It always cracks me up when I see Blazing Saddles on broadcast television. They have to take so much out that they invariably have to put in cut scenes just to make it reasonably lengthy. I saw one version where they added three different additional ways that Sheriff Bart captures Mongo.

Putting Blazing Saddles on broadcast TV makes as much sense as trying to show porn.
