My God, it's cut to ribbons! They sacrifice entire scenes in order to fit in atrociously long commercial breaks. It's more like a highlight reel.

Heh, it's the opposite here in New Zealand... We're forced to cut to commercial more often (on American TV shows) because they've inherently got more adverts than we do.

I was watching The Walking Dead the other night with the wife and was wondering why they were cutting to a commercial every 9 minutes...   ???

Well, they cut to commerical after the "Those things are for prying eyes!" line from The Penguin. When it picked back up, it was when Batman parks the Batmobile in he alley and the shield come up.

It was a rhetorical question, really.  Meaning I figured out why the adverts were playing so often when I realized it was an American show.

Hilariously bad editing. Thanks for the example.

Bizarre... so they didn't cut out the "Just the pussy I been lookin' for" line... but they did cut out the part where Catwoman gives herself a bath?   ???

And I thought the "edited to fit inside of 2 hours plus commercials" version we had in the U.S. was bad!
Why is there always someone who bring eggs and tomatoes to a speech?

Sorry to go a little off topic but when I first saw Ghostbusters on tv in the early 90's they cut all the stuff with Rick Moranis and the terror dogs out, Peter Venkman's creepy bedroom scene with "Zuul" and even Ray's "dream sequence" with a lady ghost! When I finally bought the VHS i thought I'd found some wonderous lost director's cut lol
