I wonder if we got that "cut" of the shows. This is exactly what is happening. The start is also choppy because they extract scenes to do a teaser before the music/intro. Never had a pre-intro teaser. I doubt the cuts will be the same, every channel has it's own timeframe for commercials so will probably be doing their own editing. Shame they don't watch the whole season before editing to see what storylines they're butchering. And you know it's a bunch of nerdboyz doing it: no respect for the shippers.  |

Dinosaur Fever cut out that wonderful speech on what science is and is not.
It did include the scene at the end with the Badlands fantasy and the "mystery woman". I guess the editors figured out that they better leave in enough Jilliam for TGM to make sense, lol.

I was wondering when they were going to figure out that w/o some shippy bits all the rest of the series wouldn't make sense! |

Missing from The Green Muse so far - discussion of Julia's pretty dress and the fact she had been out on a date. Also, only one "pervy glance" survived the cut. The scene with Julia examining the body is very short.
One odd thing I've noticed about a lot of these episodes is the sound fades in and out: I'm not sure if this relates to mistakes or poor quality of editing.
No talk with Julia at the end where they arrange for future non-absinthe fueled picnics...

Interesting preview for I, Murdoch next week... No hint of the automaton at all. Instead the preview makes it seems like an International spy story. Amazingly, they didn't throw in Julia in Cabaret costume...! Arg - just realized what they cut at the end of Big Murder on Campus. They cut the part about William inviting Julia to go to the Battery Exhibit and Julia turning him down.  |

Convalescence - the Julia bedroom scene cut out!!!! This after the Cabaret Domi scene cut out of I, Murdoch!!! So cutting out Jilliam isn't just about cutting out the extraneous "wrap-up" at the end. The editors are cutting out the shippy bits in the middle, too. Evidently, they don't think the audience in the U.S. will be the shippers. I am skeptical of the wisdom of that approach.  I predict ZERO geek boys will care about Murdoch Mysteries when they could be watching shows with violence and alpha malez instead. |

I know Ovation is an "arts" channel but does it lean towards mysteries? That may explain cutting so many of the shippy bits. |

As far as I know, Ovation is leaving the ship in its edits of The Artful Detective. Last fall MM sold the syndicated version of Murdoch Mysteries as "Murdoch Mysteries" to a lot of regular American network channels. They run on independent stations or hours that are under local control - mainly very late at night or early afternoon on the weekends. In the San Francisco Bay Area it's on at 1am on Sunday, KRON channel 4 (an independent local station). The syndicated version is cut a lot so they can stuff a lot of commercials into it. But they are cutting out the "hook" that makes it an attractive show. |

It seems that the situation is getting worse with syndication, not better. Why do the TPTB in the US think they have the all the answers?? Isn't MM a success in multiple world markets without their input??? |

So do you think they are underestimating the ability of the US market to embrace something less American or are the TPTB so entrenched in their 'rightness' that they have to muck with something that has already proven to be a good thing? |

I may not have imagined it when I said I thought MM seemed "speeded up" somehow in the Syndicated version. Apparently this is actually a thing. Cable TV has been using compression techniques to speed up shows in order to fit in more commercials. www.engadget.com/2015/02/19/cable-networks-speeding-up-shows/ |

The people that want to watch it will find it through other means. One of the syndicated episodes may tempt someone to look further but I predict the syndicated eps themselves won't last long. You can't screw with a good show and expect it to have the same draw as the original. Perhaps they're trying to appeal to a different segment than the usual MM audience but doG knows who that could be since MM appeals to almost every demographic as it is. |
