Subject: Cut Out Scene's ?

I have a question just out of being curious.

Why are so many scene's Cut out and Deleted from Tv Series and movie's in General ??

Some of these deleted and cut out scene's are excellent.

Do They Do That because most Movie's are 2 hour's in length ?

Do They do it because tv series are only 1 Hour ??

Is it because they just pick the best and splice them togther ?

I could never figure out why edited scene's hit the cutting room floor.

Can you guy's enlighten me , Please.

H.L.R. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Television_advertisement

for: "
United States of America

In the United States, . . . In the 1960s a typical hour-long American show would run for 51 minutes excluding advertisements. Today, a similar program would only be 42 minutes long; a typical 30-minute block of time now includes 22 minutes of programming and eight minutes of advertisements - six minutes for national advertising and two minutes for local.[6] . . .

In other words, over the course of 10 hours, American viewers will be shown approximately three hours of advertisements, twice what they would have seen in the 1960s. If a 1960s show is rerun today, the content may be edited by nine minutes to make room for the extra advertisements.

In the 1950s and 1960s, the average advertisement's length was one minute. As the years passed, the average length shrank to 30 seconds (and sometimes 10 seconds), but more advertisements are now shown during the break. . . . "

Joe , do they basically Buy$$ air-time for these commercial's ??
Thus making the movie not full viewing time ?

Is That what they mean by > This Show is being sponsered by
The Budwieser Company , as you watch the Horse's Pull The Beer Wagon.

So They Purchase air time. These Movie company's must rake in the dough.

When I first started watching Bonanza on TVLand. they showed more per ep than they do now. Some of the scenes I saw at first and don't see now were really good and important scenes. I don't think we see Bonanza eps that are 42 minutes of show, now. I think TVLand shows less show time than they're supposed to. Just my opinion.

I'm a Fan of that Bad Boy Biker Club > Son's of Anarchy.

I Think we See 40 Minutes of actual air time for it and 20 Minutes of commercials.

And I hate it when they show the commercial 4 times in a row and then go to something different.

I guess the commercials sponser The show so they are given air time.

That is why DVR and Tivo are so popular. Just record and zip through the commercials or rerun anything you like. You get alot of options for a little extra, about six dollars a month. adamseve
