Sometimes it can be, personally the nudity and other stuff on Sopranos doesn’t bother me, but most of the time I think it’s bad. Presidents Day Weekend was a real eye opener for that, Sci-Fi did a marathon of Twilight Zone episodes, it was partly sponsored by the people releasing the new Twilight Zone collection and they decided to show the restored episodes like they’ll be on the DVD, this added about 5 minutes to every half hour episode, and watching some of those true classics like Time Enough At Last gain so much with that extra time. That’s really the kind of stuff I was talking about, there’s a lot more commercials now than there were back in the Golden Age where TVLand draws so much of it’s content from, there’s now 22 minutes of half hour show instead of 26 or 27, that’s a lot of content to lose. And unlike with newer shows that are written for that smaller time frame the stuff TVLand is showing were written, filmed and oringally edited for that 26 to 27 minutes ahdn chopping out that “extra” 4 or 5 minutes (1/5 of the total show) often leads to some wierd edits.

Not me. To watch men and women treating young women as animals for pleasure pretty much ruins most of the Hollywood offerings for me now days. It just hurts my feelings.
