 MTV and VH1 have shown this film many times, and although it isnt a long  film they have cut it, specifically the "Smooth Criminal" segment (the  showpiece of the film): The dance segment in Club 30s is heavily edited, as  is the scene where the kids dog is returned to them by Michaels manager  (leaving one plot question unanswered!) The "Come Together" performance is  also shorter.  The more recent VH1 Rock and Roll Picture Show airings cut the  film down even more, most noticably in the Retrospective sequence.
