Question

Viewers discuss whether Seinfeld episodes that ran long could be released in a director's cut format with restored scenes, drawing comparisons to other shows' editing practices.

In the New York Times article last Thursady, they mention that the show ran ten minutes long and they would have to cut it back. I wonder if that most of the stuff they cut from the shows is good enough to watch or would still work with the edited program. Well, you get my drift by now: is there a chance these shows would be distributed on video with these takes and scenes restored.

I am not sure. I don't believe the "X-Files" puts in what was cut and just looking at that show as an example. Also, sometimes there is a different edited version of series for syndication though, so far, I haven't noticed that being the case for "Seinfeld." Jennifer
