 Syndicated reruns in the US are cut by 2 to 3 minutes. One particularly bad  cut is of a key sequence in the first episode: after Helen and Tom leave  Georges apartment after being insulted, they are talking in the hallway, and  the scene ends with them kissing. This was a controversial scene back in  1975, but its editing was so that stations and cable networks airing the show  could fit in more commercials.
