Stuff that's been edited out in syndication...

I'm just wondering what little things everyone misses that have been taken out of the episodes. Here are a couple I like:

In "The Shower Head," after Kramer takes a bath he describes to Jerry how it's disgusting, and he says "I'm sitting there in a tepid pool of my own filth, with all kind of organisms having sex all around me!" But the second half of that line was cut out. I remember when I first heard it, I was laughing so hard.

In "The Junk Mail," when Kramer brings back the catalogues to Pottery Barn and he throws them down and says "How do you like getting them back?", the camera cuts right away to the next scene, but originally it stayed on him for several seconds, showing how no one was responding to his complaint even though he was waiting for something to happen. Another funny moment.

Can anyone think of some other good stuff that's been cut like that?

I've said it before, I'll say it again...the worst one I've seen is from "The Chaperone," when they cut Kramer's delivery of the word "Poise!" at the end of his rant at Miss Rhode Island in Atlantic City. One of the absolute best Kramer moments, and they cut it just so they make a few extra bucks. Greedy bastards.

For some reason I remember hearing him say it. Does he say it more than once? Or am I just thinking of "Poise counts!" and then he says it again after that, and they cut it?

Here's the dialogue, what was cut is in [brackets]:

KRAMER: If you were Miss America, and the U.S. was on the brink of a nuclear war, and the only way the conflict could be averted was if you agreed to sleep with the enemy's leader, what would you do?

KAREN: Kramer, are these questions really that important...?

KRAMER: Yes, they're important! If you stumble, if you hesitate, you can kiss the crown goodbye. Now if I've told you once, I've told you a thousand times - poise counts! It's just as important as the others. [Swimsuit! Evening wear! Talent! POISE!]

With the series soon to be released on DVD, this all seems sort of unimportant (finally), but another bad one that comes to mind is from "The Betrayal." I always thought this was a funny line from Zubin at the end of the scene:

USHA: You're not going to the wedding, are you?

ELAINE: Well...

USHA: Don't go. India is a dreadful, dreadful place.

ZUBIN: You know, it's the only country that still has the plague? I mean, the plague! Please!

USHA: Here's the registry. Send her a gift, and be glad you did not have to go.

ELAINE: Right. Don't go, send a gift? I think I understand.

ZUBIN: If I had to go to India, I wouldn't go to the bathroom the entire trip.

ELAINE (leaving): Fantastic.

ZUBIN: [And I'm not so crazy about Manhattan, either.]

On my taped re-run, I have that line of dialog. It is not cut out.

It depends on where you are watching the show. The reruns on your local channel have different edits than the ones that air on TBS.

When did you tape it? The only thing I can figure is those damned syndication cuts have gotten more frequent in recent months or something. Anyway, if you see "The Chaperone" ep aired on TBS these days, the 'Poise' line just ain't in there.

This is off topic to the newsgroup but not to the subject:

I noticed that ABCFamily cut out some stuff from Boy Meets World. Really sick. I spit in the face of people who don't want to be cool.

ROBUTTO may be my new favorite character. (i'm big on flat, flabby asses.) Reminds me of The Giant Cellulite Ass.

Comeon, we all know that swimsuit is the contest, everyone looks good in evening wear; that is why we have weddings in it!

Pardon the horrible spelling in my posts. Now watch this drive!
