Its obvious. They could show that movie, its been on TV before. And it could
have been edited for television easily.



I remember the movie well. I saw it in the theaters and I recall seeing
it on HBO, I believe. There's no reason to "edit" it for television, and
I believe ABC's deal with the studio forbids deletions.

What would you edit? The "cuss words"? They are integral to the movie.
The movie is violent, but no more so than other movies on television.

There's something else going on here.

Ah, come on Harry, get a hold of yourself. You are starting to sound
like the mentality of the 50's when everything unexplainable must be a
commie plot. Television is still over-reacting to the boob show at the
Superbowl.
