Hi there-

I learned that this week's (1/30) episode will only be shown in its entirety this one time. Apparently, there is an extra minute in the episode that will not appear in future syndication reruns.

So, I guess this means that you need to get your VCRs ready.

Does that also go for when it is reran later this season?

Yup. This is a one-time only thing.

AHHHHHH!

Did anyone make copy of the tape which they are willing to dub for me, mail it to me in exchange for some good $$?

I have it, i'll trade you for something. (not a Seinfeld tape)

Interesting...I'm one of those annoying people who makes sure that all clocks/watches in the house are set to within seconds of the "real" time (National Bureau of Standards time clock, etc). I *did* notice that Seinfeld started at 8:59 instead of 9:00 here. I assumed that our local station had screwed up since they normally are perfectly synched with the clock. (yeah, yeah...I've got to "get a life")

It will be interesting to see what gets cut in syndication. Probably Kramer's driving sequences since they weren't crucial to the possibility of him having an accident leading to a coma.

It's usually the opening sequence that gets cut; if you notice that the sixth and seventh-season syndicated episodes are missing the stand-up. Since this season the stand up is gone, the incidents in the opening sequences have been mostly inconsequential to the rest of the episodes, sort of like a separate skit. But since this one had something crucial to the plot, it's hard to tell what they'll cut.

I noticed the same thing, but I was ready for it (I started recording about 15 seconds before it came on).

Well, I watched it last night. Very funny, especially the 'Jerk store' thread, but I can't imagine which extra minute they won't be showing again.

any of the others offered up by his

buddies.)

You most likely missed your prozac dose(sorry for the prozac joke). This was a very funny episode, and it really never got dull or annoying like the Chinese resturant episode.
