Just finished watching this episode for maybe the 20th time. And what I DIDN'T see has me wondering if the politically correct police have struck again.
Then Radar and Henry are having a drink Henry starts telling Radar about the Illinois game. When Henry was team manager. Tanker Washington gets hurt. And Henry runs out on the field and tapes the wrong leg. The scene is cut before Henry tells Radar, that, to this day, once a yr. Tanker goes to his (Henry's) house and shoots out the front porch light.
I hope this was just a technical issue. But it looked like a clean cut in editing. If we've gotten to a point where humor has to be so closely scrutinized that we need to worry about planting seeds in people's minds...then the terrorists and the lunatics have taken control. There are inherent risks in life. But if we get to a point where everything must be filtered through a perspective of proactive fear then one of the more obvious victims is going to be creativity. Everything is bassackwards. Thugs and skanks are glamorized. But goofy humor is censured. The sensibilities of average people are being ignored.
