The Closer (TNT TV Show) questions

[TheRic]

Has anyone else noticed that the regular time slot 9:00 PM ending is different then the Midnight time slot?!! (Ohio times).

Last week I missed the regular time slot. Got to catch the midnight one, was talking with the wife the next day and the endings were different. I was talking about things she didn't see, and vice-versa.

Last night (Monday) at 8:00 PM they showed last weeks Midnight version. The wife saw what I was talking about, but I didn't get to see what she was talking about. At 9:00 PM they had this weeks episode, then at Midnight this weeks episode the ending was different again. Going to guess they will show that at 8:00 PM next week.

Why the different versions?!! Not sure what they are taking out to get the extra footage in. Has anybody noticed this, or heard what is going on?!

Just a guess, but it's possible that there is a late-night formatted version with more mature content. I know there are other shows that have been done that way. Basic storyline is probably the same between the two. The time duration inconsistencies can easily be done away with editing or more/less commercial content.
