Airplane! Again
The TV version of Airplane!
has several scenes that were originally cut from the theatrical
version (and are therefore also missing from the home video
version), presumably to make up for the loss of such as the
"Cocaine Lady" gag [I wonder how many people have watched the movie
on TV, sat through the credits, and then wondered "What 'Cocaine
Lady'?"]. These include a silly "Hi, Jack!"/hijack gag, extended
dialog between the two child passengers, Kramer and McCroskey
drinking too much water at a water cooler, and this bit of
dialog between Elaine
and Ted in the cockpit. -----
