Rush said only one minute was trimmed from the first episode. This liberal says thirty minutes was chopped...and the episodes did not fill their time slots. I think Rush was wrong on this one.
I'm waiting for the unedited version to come out on CDs and will definitely buy it.
I think they cut out more from the second episode. If they didn't, then I don't understand how they could interrupt it with Bush's speech and still end it at 10:25, approximately.
