i’ve always wonder this?
its crazy because for example i didnt see the first 4 or 5 seasons of SCRUBS on when they first aired on NBC but i watched it repeatedly in syndication for years. i watched reruns of every season all the time.
yet when my library got scrubs and i watched those first few seasons again there were whole scenes i had never seen. so literally over a decade after scrubs ended i saw scenes from the original broadcast, that i wouldnt have known about from those first few seasons.
as for the seasons i did watch when first broadcast, i noticed when scenes from those episodes were cut out in syndication.
why does this happen with sitcoms in syndication?
i dont understand the purpose of it.
