I'll tell you what though, if you ever get any of the seasons on DVD, you'll be amazed at how much stuff they cut out in syndication... heck, entire scenes are cut! I'll give you just one little example:

In "Dear Dad... Again", there's an entire scene where Frank gets so drunk after his little spat with Margaret, that he pretty much stays up all night in his drunken stupor and wants Hawkeye and Trapper to play with him... it's hilarious, and this is also where we learn where his nickname Ferret Face originated from. That whole scene is cut completely.

"Last Laugh" is also edited rather poorly in syndication as well: there's a subplot where Klinger's latest scheme is an invisible camel named Habibi... every one of those scenes is cut, which is a shame, because it was one of Klinger's funnier schemes.
