I was speaking more of the poor edits GSN used to do during the openings of TTTT when Marlboro was a sponsor.  Example.

...try to fool this panel:  Tom Poston, Peggy Cass, Orson Bean, Kitty Carlisle on To Tell the Truth.  [INSERT GSN'S BAD EDIT AND COMMERCIAL]  And now....Bud Collyer!

I did the opening from memory, and since I usually fast forward through the opening, I am 99.9% sure it isn't right, but it gives an idea of what I was talking about.

Actually, GSN **did** edit the intro for the Winston IGAS eps... they had a generic intro assembled (with the Winston plug edited out), and substituted it for the actual program intro (which featured a cutaway to a burning Winston cigarette as the plug was being read), where necessary.

It's a fairly well-edited intro, though, and if you didn't have an original kinescope to compare it to, in some cases you might not notice the difference.

Thanks to everybody for bearing with an uninformed loser like me who proclaimed he was CONFIDENT that the intros weren't edited.

And I hear that I'm signed up for the TTD '90 room...

My apologies.
