Yes, a similar hatchet-job was done on Woody Allen's Sleeper in
Pittsburgh.  Apparently, the station decided to insert adverts into the
movie itself!  I don't mean commercials.  I mean they actually added
new scenes to the movie in which the product is hawked in the
futuristic setting.  Supposedly, Woody's lawyer and some other lawyers
are going after the station manager.

I make it a point to never watch a theater movie on T.V.  if it's
likely to be butchered.  There are some stations that avoid
hatchet-jobs.  Seek them out. Or go pay-TV!
