I thought that might be possible, dave. the episodes that day were listed like 1 hour 7 minutes on the dvr because Richard was talking, but why would they cut a great moment like that ? to the person with the scissors, they aren't great moments, just film to cut to make room for the commercials. |

You're right, Dave -- it's usually a segment selected because it doesn't add to the storyline and won't affect the continuity, nor be missed if no one knows about it !! ... still, a shame...  |

"Has anyone seen my inner tube?" This was the best line in the episode and one of the best for the whole show |

They edit that bit out...? are you serious!!! Since when is a bit of bare chest and shoulder unsuitable viewing - how could anything from the Waltons need censoring? talk about over-kill! They edited that out yet its OK to allow Bart Simpson to fart in someone's face? I'm really confused here. |

reruns are edited out to make time for more commercials, simple as that.

It shows the mentality of society today when something crude and disgusting is considered acceptable and a old man's bare chest isn't. |

Saw The Journey last night on INSP. Love that episode. But for some unfathomable reason they cut out the scene where John Boy is dancing with the elderly woman in the restaurant and she imagines that she's dancing with her long dead husband! Such a vital part of the show not to air! Got to get more DVDs ((only have season one) Who knows what else I've been missing! EM |

They cut time from an old TV show to make room for more commercial advertising so the network could make more $$$$$ plain and simple. Not a Anti Walton's conspiracy. AMC has butchered The Three Stooges 20 minute shorts down to 10 minutes, TV Land hacks Hogan's Heroes almost as bad.All the networks do this to reruns. Simple business to them. |

Pissant
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the song by the Smashing Pumpkins, see Pisces Iscariot.
A pissant, also seen as piss-ant, refers to a specific kind of ant. The word is also used as a pejorative noun or adjective.[1] It has its origin in the word pismire, a 14th-century term for ant.[2]
The original pissant is any of a certain group of large ant species, commonly called wood ants, that make mounded nests in forests throughout most of Europe.[3] The name pissant arises from the urine-like odour produced by their nesting material—needles and straw from pine trees—and the formic acid that constitutes their venom.[4] Formica rufa is one such ant, but there are others with similar characteristics. It may be derived from the term pismire.[5] Forelius and Iridomyrmex are two genera of piss ants.[6] In the United States, the word pissant can refer to any small ant that infests a home.[7]
Contents [show]
Slang[edit]
Pissant is an epithet for an inconsequential, irrelevant, or worthless person, especially one who is irritating or contemptible out of proportion to his or her perceived significance. A Virginia politician is said to have silenced a heckler by saying, "I'm a big dog on a big hunt and I don't have time for a piss-ant on a melon stalk."[8]
The term piss-ant can also be used as an adjective, usually as a pejorative, to mean insignificant and annoying. In conversations with his advisors during the Vietnam War, U.S. President Lyndon B. Johnson referred to Vietnam as "a piddling piss-ant little country".[9]

Yeah, dave but they have bleeped out words due to content. You don't think a scene where a Missonary closes her eyes and turns her head due to a bare chest could possibly be edited because of content ? Why choose that particular scene ? they kept everything up to that point and after that point. They could have edited out the scene right after that one, It would have made more sense cause that scene was right before the commercial. |

yeah depending on what network a show is on, they do edit words out, but then they allow other words that should have been. What gets me is some of the commercials that are on nowadays. Feminine products, sex aids/medicines. I can imagine Ester having her stroke or at least saying "Good Lord!" And the editing of some shows has never made sense. If someone was watching a show for the first time they couldn't know what was going on. And there surely is nothing offensive about Grandpa Walton's bare chest.

That particular episode would give a viewer the impression that the Waltons wear swimsuits only when a hoard of ministers is expected to drop by!
Of course, the rationalization is here that it they probably do it regularly and are comfortable with their attire, but on this occasion the bluenoses blew by and there was a cultural clash.
Still, it's funny! ("Oh heavens, the old man is practically naked!")

Some of the networks don't even show The Ghost Story from Season 2 or the Evolution episode from season 1 |
