Dear BBC America:

You know I love you, baby, but why you gotta cut the tags off all your adventure series? Don't do me like that. How are the children gonna learn? They don't see Steed and Mrs Peel riding off in stupid vehicles at the end of every episode. They don't see Danny Wilde destroy his house with a single nail. Why you gotta be that way?

Weepz,

Ann

Also much wailing and gnashing of teeth...

I have no way of being sure, but I think they even do it with newer, current series--possibly even shaving bits off in the middle for commercials.

No idea. They cut tiny bits of Monty Python for content, but otherwise the sitcoms seem to be intact -- of course they're also in three episode/two hour blocks, to allow for ads.

Simpsons has about become unwatchable, with the hackjob they do on it

Is it possible to get BBC Americur on its own without getting, say, Showtime Northern California or summat?

Depends on your cable company. It was expensive digital tier only here, until a couple months ago. Now it's basic.

BASIC? :envy:

I'm still pretty shocked.
