it varies. most `pre-airs` tend to be leaks of finalised versions shown to industry reviewers/critics to generate press buzz/coverage prior to airing, and don't change. rarer are "in-house" early pilots, made to hawk around networks or advertising sponsors to get an airing deal, or to get feedback from focus groups before the final decision on cut or content or casting is made and pitched. these generally appear much longer in advance and are the ones that tend to differ significantly. not that the reviewer screeners are cast in stone - i dare say if a show gets universally panned then the studio may do a recut, or even recast/reshoot a part if the reaction is excessively negative. obviously it's much more difficult and expensive to do it at such a late stage, so it's not so common. |

these "preairs" are also helped by the fact that weeds is shown on showtime in the us and the whole months viewings (4 eps- 1 a week) is available to download...having said that...this is the best drama on tv hands down!..needed something to fill the void of no more sopranos..... |
