Has anyone seen the edited-for-T.V. version?

In the edited-for-T.V. version, there are two slightly longer scenes than on the DVD version. One is the narration of Leeroy's letter to his folks after he moves to the city. The narration says "i go straight to bed" and it shows him with i think booze or a dinnertray with a candle approaching bed while a female is on the bed waiting. The other one is a scene with Leeroy,his wife and kids at the table with pop. When he talks his usual dirtytalk[cleaned up for T.V.], Leeroy asks something like "Why do you talk that way around the kids?" I wish they included these extensions for DVD.

Ive seen the tv version also. I agree, those deleted scenes would have been a great addition to the dvd.

Im a huge fan of this movie, and I own the TV version on VHS. There are several scenes that differ from the R rated version. The couring scene with Leroy and Vanetta walking in the park, the scene where he watches the Rev. Lennox preach and the remarks he says to Chuey. There are so many differences because as they removed scenes they added some to compensate for the lost time.

I think in the edited version,the orange poster,can be read up close.it says:"
there's blood on those oranges"
seems like the r version you can't really read it.

I have it on the DVR from the Bounce channel yesterday. I can remember renting it on VHS way back when. That version was a lot dirtier than this cleaned up cut. Still funny.
