I just noticed that SyFy is running TZ all day long. It begins at 8 a.m. where I live.

They butchered "I Sing The Body Electric." It seems they're doing some editing to squeeze in more commercials. Typical SyFy.

Really, I’m watching but didn’t notice.

They cut out a fair amount of the salesman's spiel in the episode. I haven't been watching it closely since but they probably cut out around a minute of content from that scene.

Yeah, that’s the one thing bad with Syfy. I noticed it one time in the talking Tina episode and in The Howling Man they went to commercial right when he was changing into the devil.

The Howling Man changing into the devil was a fantastic sequence. Those people at SyFy are asses.

yes- it's roughly the equivalent of cutting out the scene where they toss the sled into the fire at the end of Citizen Kane.

I hope this isn’t in place of the Fourth Of July Marathon?

Which cares. MeTv does a better presentation of the show and you don't need cable to watch it.

[–] g-bone (534) 5 years ago

I agree, but it is enjoyable to watch the same episodes during the marathon and discuss with in message boards.

Oh cool thanks for the heads up. I just turned it on and my favorite episode A Stop At Willoughby is on.

I'm watching it right now. Love this show!
