The "edited for Televison" caption was video generated, therefore I believe ABC added it.

Whatever version Thistv is running, it's old, it's pan and scan, it's hissy, and it's mono. (The only thing I've seen them run in widescreen, is the later seasons of Stargate SG-1. And those are probably the same letterbox SD masters Sci-Fi had.) I'm still wondering where they got a pan and scan of the restored Lawrence of Arabia, as I never even saw a full frame VHS of that.

In the 90's, I taped later syndicated broadcasts of TWOK in vain, hoping the extra footage would be there. It was always the theatrical cut.

There are much newer pan and scan masters they could have used, and somehow this gets pulled from the vault.

There were some more cruder breaks put in. These don't have fade outs though.
