"The Pick": Did they cut?

If memory serves correctly, the ending of "The Pick" normally includes a Calvin Klein ad/billboard with Kramer sporting the undies. Yesterday's syndicated run did not include this shot. Am I imagining things, or is FOX screwing with the episodes again? [I'll never understand their cutting of Jerry's hilarious line "And you wanna be my latex salesman" in a syndicated run of "The (Boy?)Friend".]

I think you can also blame some of the cuts on the local station. I've seen some of the episodes multiple times in syndication, and noticed that sometimes the local station switches to a commercial and cuts off the last couple words. One good example was in "The Virgin" where Jerry and George are in the bar. Jerry points out Marla and her friend. There is the sequence of introductions, then, Jerry wants George to go talk to the friend, and says,

Jerry: "George?!!!" George: "Jerry.....Marla.....'Friends Name'"

The first time I saw this, they cut to commercial after George says "Jerry" but the last time I saw it, the whole thing was there.

When I taped the syndicated version of The Boyfriend, they did show the "and you wanna be my Latex salesman" ending. One episode I know that Sony clipped was The Barber - it originally ended with a shot of Newman and his razor-shaved head. This shot was cut when I saw the episode in syndication.

    I'm not sure, but in that episode where George has to read
"Breakfast at Tiffany's" and ends up taking the "easy" way out (a.k.a
watching the movie at a stranger's house - much easier than reading the
book), the end was different in syndication. George was talking about
the book at the reading group, and was caught in his cheating.
    But then again, I could be wrong, seeing as I only saw that one
once before it was syndicated.
