I just saw the 2 part syndication rerun of the Final show. I could only watch part of it because of the butcher job they did on the show. In part 1, cut out Elaine's attempt to tell Jerry she loved him as the plane went down. "Jerry, I love U...." Later she covers herself by saying "I love United Airlines" & they cut out the entire witness testimony of the Bubble Boy in part 2. How sad when such arbitrary cuts to this comedy classic can take place.
Shamefull Cuts
Viewers complain about arbitrary cuts made to the Seinfeld finale when it aired in syndication, including missing dialogue and testimony that altered the episode's impact.
didn"t they also cut out jackies opening statement
Not only did they cut out the Bubble boy testimony, but they DIDN'T cut out the part when the reporter from Rivera Live references it
They also cut out one of my FAVORITE parts in that episode: when Jackie tells Jerry that he doesn't like his tie and gets him a new one, and then Jerry doesn't like it, so Elaine says "Jackie says wear the tie Jerry"
Didn't they also cut out Poppy from the stand if I'm not mistaken?

Poppy's testimony never made it into the episode in the first place.
I really hate them cutting out stuff from any of the episodes, since I think every scene is integral to the episode, especially in this sitcom. But since its sindication, they gotta get rid of something. Lifes a bitch.
Assman
Because Poppy is a little sloppy.

As much as I love this show, I must say that after repeated viewings, I still find this episode very, very lame. This beginning, with the NBC guys, is pretty good, even the airplane sequence is great but when they're arrested and we get to the trial... urgh.
I think they also cut the part where they are all talking about the amount of milk they put in cereal ;)

Didn't the original showing of the finale have an odd timeslot? I'm thinking either 8:45 to 10:00, or 9:00 to 9:45. If it's the former then it would explain why so much was cut out.
I'm thinking they also cut one of Geraldo's segments. Didn't he and his colleague discus "the rumored romance" between Jerry and Elaine?
I could not agree more, syndiction cuts suck. Does anyone know if there is a site which lists them all? Kp
I just created one today on my website. I have no problem adding anything you guys want to it. Here's the link: http://www.angelfire.com/de/unknownuser/syndication.html http://www.angelfire.com/de/unknownuser/seinfeld.html Thanks, Charlie
