No kidding? Sweet! How do you know they were aired uncut? Did they make a point to say? Running time...you aren't going to go longer than almost 49 minutes. Plus comparing them to the cut versions aired in the 80's syndication run, FX, and Showcase Action. Oh and KDOC TV ran all of the episodes uncut, I have some that I already had from ABC, and ran them side by side to double check.

That's so cool, and surprising, that they showed them uncut! I hate syndicated versions. They usually take out pieces of the show that are often the 'little touches' or 'moments' that made the show special to us to begin with!

BurgerAlertBoy, I completely agree. I'll either watch Heroine up to the 'goodbye' scene and then turn it off, or just watch the scene by itself. Either way, I'm glad it was produced, because I was finally able to get SOME closure. I also agree with you guys: the meeting in the desert with the rushed-up goodbye closes the series and gives it at least an end; it's not worthy to watch the rest of the episode unless to check how Bill is doing with his new partner. This episode for me is the worst. I did not like much Heaven is in Your Genes and some parts of Thirty Seconds Over Little Tokyo to be honest and that's it really. I don't know if I have seen the uncut versions, this whole syndication thing makes me curious about what portions could have been cut off on each of these 4 episodes.

Worst episode: "This is The One The Suit Was Meant For" Runners-up: Anything else written by Babs Greyhosky or Juanita Bartlett.
Regarding the previous poster's lack of enthusiasm for "Heaven is in Your Genes", I feel compelled to paraphrase Frankenstein's Monster: "Patrick Hasburgh good. Fire bad." I'm going to sleep now.

"Patrick Hasburgh good. Fire bad." ???Patrick Hasburgh he's the one who wrote/co-wrote the episode ("Heaven is..")? Some parts were really good though, like when Ralph and Pam go through Bill's stuff and the idea of taking him as an hostage was original plus the tough fight for Ralph with the Giant but I personally think that other parts were a bit sloppy in this episode.

Patrick Hasburgh holds sole writing credit for the following GAH episodes: "Now You See It" "It's All Downhill From Here" "Who's Woo in America" "Divorce, Venusian Style" "Heaven is in Your Genes"
also holds sole writing credit for the following A-Team episodes: "Black Day at Bad Rock" "The Beast From the Belly of a Boeing" (highest rated episode of the first season) "Diamonds 'n' Dust" (first episode to ever hit #1 in the weekly ratings)
Patrick Hasburgh, together with John Ashley, was listed as "Producer" in the first season opening credits of The A-Team. First season was pretty damn good. After the first season, Ashley stayed, Hasburgh left. Second season sucked; you do the math.
Over at "Hardcastle and McCormick", Hasburgh was co-creater, producer, and writer; it was his baby. The episodes he wrote always rocked. The higher his name rose in the credits, the better the show got; again: you do the math.
Patrick Hasburgh good. Fire bad.

you do the math. Patrick Hasburgh good. Fire bad.Hey thank you for that. That's a lot of stuff he made that has been successful; I wasn't aware of all that. Hardcastle and McCormick was a great show too.

No problem. Hey, would you like to join the Pre-Orb Cult, and follow the one true way like me?
Our motto is "Patrick Hasburgh good. Fire bad."

Patrick Hasburgh should've been the next Stephen J. Cannell, but seemed to lose that momentum around the turn of the decade (1980s/1990s), don't know why). If you've enjoyed the TV work of this former ski instructor turned TV writer/producer, might I recommend renting the film "Aspen Extreme"? Hasburgh both wrote and directed that one.

That explains It's all downhill from here and Aspen Extreme. I am just imdb -ing for it and it has a very good review, it's all based upon the friendship story of 2 ski instructors.. If I come across it I will surely rent it. Thanx. L.

Actually, the Pre-Orb Cult is a little religion I'm inventing. So far, it exists only in my head. I'm glad to discover what pre-orb cult is. Anyway, I must confess that I've been googling for good 10 mins. yesterday to find out.. and got this: Wall of Hope: This is going to sound rather strange. In an Orb deck there are 2 distinct periods, Pre-Orb and Post-Orb. Post-Orb removing a Wall of Hope is trading 1 tap for 2 or more of their taps. Pre-Orb is sometimes divided into two periods as well, Turns 1-4 and after turn 4. Turns 1-4 removing a Wall of Hope means your opponent is not playing additional threats. It isn't actually likely a Wall will remain in play longer than one attack After turn 4 when there is no Orb in play? The rest of the deck should cover this.which is already an headache and other stuff of the same kind.

This is the very first time I've heard of this, and it has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the the Pre-Orb Cult.
Remember, I invented this religion.

OK, I'll give you a hint. The reason I call my made-up religion the Pre-Orb Cult, is because Pre-Orb Cult is an anagram of something.

Golly, I saw this thread and was a bit shocked. As it never occured to me...Worst episodes? Is that possible? Wow. I really don't remember seeing an episode that I didn't like. Wow, I guess after I have all 3 seasons...and have watched all the shows over, perhaps I may find a show not as good as the others. But for now, I love them all as best as I can remember.
