ALF

2.02 Somewhere Over the Rerun

Comparison:

  • US Version (Syndicated Version)
  • German TV Version
Release: May 02, 2011 - Author: Scat - Translator: Tony Montana - external link: IMDB - more from this series
Compared are the Syndicated Version (available on the US DVD) and the Uncut Version (German Free TV).

In the US, footage of any episode has been removed so that the network had the opportunity to extended the commercial breaks. These TV Version are called "Syndicated Versions". The US DVD Boxes only contain these Syndicate Versions for some reason.
8 removed scenes = 121 seconds

The main theme is slightly different. In comparison to the Uncut Version, the Syndicated Version contains a slightly modified version of the main theme.

After ALF asked Willie to speak to him, the Syndicated Version is slightly longer, then it fades to the next scene. The Uncut Version also contains the following:
Willie says he spoked exclusively to him. ALF replies he was going to rebuild the garden as it had been before. Willie wants him to do it asap. ALF says to Kate Willie seemed to be a bit upset. He tells her to start digging and he was going to talk to him. While Kate is leaving, he explains to her he was fine with her talking to him because he would at least listen to her.
