    It’s just an outright travesty that the most recent showing of “ACBC” on December 2nd there were numerous scenes deleted in order to make room for more commercials. It’s just shameful that a holiday classic such as this gets butchered in this manner. As soon as I noticed this I stopped watching. After all you don’t play card games with a deck containing less than 52 cards.
