TV Show Alert - Blazing Saddles

is on the Sundance channel...

_{[B] Against ALL enemies, foreign and DOMESTIC}

Knowing what one is talking about is widely admired but not strictly required here.

Although sometimes distracting, there is often a certain entertainment value to this easy standard.

Does this channel edit movies? Some like AMC even edit the farts out of the campfire scene.

Yes, unfortunately.

I get two channels called Indieplex and Retroplex. They don't commercialize or edit movies.

Bought the "Blazing Saddles" DVD when it was $3.95 in the Best Buy cheap movie bin a few years ago.

Bought several for Christmas gifts.

I've got the special edition DVD. LOts of info. Initially, the Waco Kid, a washed up drunk, was going to be played by a washed up drunk actor.
He went into convulsions filming the first scene.

IT even got a couple of Oscar nominations.

Yes, unfortunately.

That's one reason I bought the DVD some years back.

The edited version isn't even worth watching IMO.
