Hello again … so back in 2008 I found the original 9/21/90 TGIF broadcast of Family Matters, which had an opening tag, and a couple of extra scenes. Opening Tag is Eddie being embarrassed having Steve tag along with him to the teen hangout, and then Steve exits the bathroom with toilet paper in his shoe. Then there’s an additional scene with Steve practicing tai chi and he discusses Rachel’s business plan with her.
On the DVD and all iTunes releases, it’s gone. I also found a script on eBay from the taping of that episode but it’s on my computer. They weren’t simply just deleted before it even aired (most shows have lines that never make the cut, or get changed.) Before I had a chance to download it, YouTube yoinked it away forever. I feel like now it’s because it had a “2 part” (episodes were filmed a few weeks apart) premiere that night and any time something like that gets put on DVD, the studios never use the original hour-long, if it all airs the same night. Full House has some missing scenes too, from hour-long shows. They edit it into 2 parts and delete the opening tags and other scenes.
Somebody totally trolled me on Sitcoms Online’s forums by saying he had a tape and would sell it to me but of course he scammed me out of money and never sent the tape and blocked my email. So thanks a lot, jerk.
I hope this post finds somebody and they happen to have that 9/21/90 TGIF broadcast. I’ve tried the Internet archive, nothing. Anything on YouTube is literally just the little bumpers from that night.
It even had original commercials! Like KitKat and Little Caesars.
