Buffy the Vampire Slayer on FX question
Two questions, actually.
How much, if any, is cut out of each episode? I'm presuming they're trimmed because there are usually more ads for a show's syndicated run.
And I've only gotten into Buffy in the past few weeks (since I lost my job, four hours daily has me hooked. Looking ahead to Season 6 next week, it seems like they're running everything except episode 7, Once More, With Feeling (which I have actually seen, fortunately), and episode 17, Normal Again.
Anyone know why? I did see that next Monday morning FX will run Earshot, the school shooting episode that didn't air originally in 1999, so FX obviously isn't bothered by the controversy in some episodes.
Thanks!

Some answers.
About 2 min. is trimmed for the ads.
Usually episodes are held back from syndication if the original network plans on reairing them.
That episode was held back because of Columbine but it did air on the WB a few months later, just before season 4.
