What's the point of playing it on tv.....


What's the point of playing this on TV (namely, USA) if they are just going to cut out random parts of the musical number and then do a crappy job of editing the movie back together.... I mean they just cut out John Travolta's singing part in "You Can't Stop the Beat" altogether, it's ridiculous.

I SAW THAT, TOO! I said the same thing to my parents when we were watching it. I couldn't believe they cut out parts of "Run and Tell That", "Ms. Baltimore Crabs", etc.

Sheesh.

The rating has nothing to do with it, it is cut so they can fit their beloved commercials in.
