It's so hard watching I Love Lucy sped up, edited, and added commercial breaks every 3-4 minutes. No wonder alot of younger people I work with dont like Lucy.
Uncut, the shows flow and seem longer than a half-hour... actually 25-26 minutes... I timed a Lucy show on Hallmark one day, and it ran just over 17 minutes. Awful.
As for the satellite, if they drop 2 of the 3 channels I watch, I'll drop the satellite.

Is all that compressing causing the distortion in all the old repeats that are shown on the various channels, such as METV, etc?
