They're Airing SHOWGIRLS... on VH-1???
 

Maybe it's just me, but... why on earth would anyone show the movie Showgirls on a basic cable channel with no nudity. No nudity! The entire point to Showgirls was Elizabeth Berkely and Gina Gershon... walking around naked.

That's as bad as TBS showing Striptease or any network airing 9 1/2 Weeks. What, do they think we're tuning in for the witty dialogue???

that was my first thought too! i was shocked to see it on vh1 in the middle of the day no less!

I love how they digitally "paint" clothes on the actresses in several of the dance scenes. It's really kind of a surreal treat to watch how butchered this "classic" is on network TV.

Why wouldn't they show showgirls? I mean it is a movie that rocked.. right...

What a tedious job that must be for the the poor guy who has to paint them...

I'll just watch it on the Canadian station I get on cable here in Buffalo
it was on one night a couple years ago at around 1am. uncut with full nudity
only editing I found was being full screen and commercial breaks

VH1 has showed it about 3, 4, 5 times before.

I always watch because it makes absoutely no sense. The part where she kicks that singers ass:

She suddenly has a knife in her hand kicking him around. We don't even see the fully clothed lesbian kiss at the end.

But it is more comical when aired on VH1...love those painted on bras.

Hey if they can put Scarface on regular network TV, then...

Yep usa shows a scratched up distorted badly edited pan and scan version of it as well.

"you Melon Farmer!"
