Yes, I have a good memory, plus it is a big hint when the credits roll and a character listed wasn’t even in the chopped episode. One of the most frustrating is Perry Mason because nearly every scene is relevant to the crime or the investigation and trial. They even cut Johnny Carson to fit in nore commercials and also for content that is no longer politically correct.
It is always intriguing to see a familiar face, knowing that we know that face, just not placing a name to that face or where we remember seeing. The credits, after such a show, are ALWAYS watched in order to see a name. These words run across the screen so fast that if you were to blink you might even miss them. The entire industry has subcombed to the drugs speed and money. The TeeVee industry found they had to add new stations in order to keep the bucks and the government propaganda fed to its viewers. Notice that the majority of stations in reality exist to show advertisements for ‘health care’,mortgage assistance, the loan racket and countless other government hand out programs. They must continue to build their base of those who are ‘needy’ and need help to live the life they might feel they are due.
What becomes of the original film after being cut and pasted. Do they eventually cut the film so often that there is no film left to cut. Like a story from childhood a poor little girl had a hole in her skirt so being a bright child she cut the hole out of her skirt to mend it.
PS Perry Mason is outright the most trusted lawyer in America. He was the last of ‘good lawyers’ JMHO. From Rear Window to Perry Mason and Godzilla sandwiched in.
