That's not true, Steve-O...WTXF -- Channel 29 in Philadelhpia had the rights to air remastered and COMPLETE versions of Hawaii Five-O, which they reran in the mid 1990s. That also included all of the 2 parters (including 2 hour season premieres re-edited into 2 shows) and a 3 parter "V for Vashon" trilogy. They were all syndicated that way. However, some stations just chose to butcher them to allow for more commercial time (such as then-nationwide superstation WWOR, Channel 9 in Secaucus, NJ).
The ones I saw and recorded off-air (on 71 VHS tapes!) were definitely uncut and were about 49 or 50 minutes, aired with limited commercial interruption in a modern era.
