--- Quote from: Waldo Twitchell on November 24, 2007, 11:16:55 AM ---I recall that TBS in Atlanta had these scenes intact in their prints from the mid-80s or so, at least for 3 Little Sew and Sews. These scenes were also uncut in the VHS releases which came out in the late 80s/early90s? There were 3 shorts per tape with a tagline of "Uncouth!" "Uncut!"

As a kid in the 1980s, I was tapping the Stooges off of WTBS each and every weekday morning.  That's how I obtained my original copy of Cookoo Cavaliers.  I don't recall it have the missing scene in question.  WTBS was pretty good about not showing edited prints, but ocassionally one did slip in.  Movie Maniacs is one of the obvious titles that was shown edited. ::)

When I would tape late night/early morning stoogers on TBS around 88-90 they would chop them down to 10 minutes or a little more to squeeze them between movies as filler.

After looking at a handful of shorts taped from this era (88-92), I've noticed that the ones shown complete were still cut in the middle for ads and (a BIG "and") they were time-compressed all to hell! And I thought that Ted Turner's airings of Gilligan's Island were badly sped up... a 16 minute Stooge film ran complete in less than 14 minutes!

I have to admit, I miss watching the colorized first season of Gilligan's Island on TBS. When Nick at Nite started airing them about 8 or so years ago, I was shocked to see the original first season was in B+W.

Heh, weird.

How about when Curly spelled cat k-i-t-t-y- PUSSY?

Didn't Moe use the word GAY once?

If they were around today I'm sure they would use words like yam bag, mule juice, va-jay-jay  that could be taken the wrong way. (to those with dirty minds)
