I just saw Murder By Death tonight on my VCR, and i had a couple
of questions for people who have seen it before both on tv and
in the theater (which i had never done).

MBD is shown every year or so on a local independant channel, and that is
where i first saw it, but when i watched it tonight on VCR, i noticed some
differences (and so did the people i was with).  The first thing we noticed
was that miss witherspoon (jessica marble's nurse) had some extra lines
(most noticably muttering "Jesus H. Christ" at one point).  The other thing
we noticed (or more exactly failed to notice) was Sherlock Holmes late
arrival on the VCR version.  Has anybody else out there noticed these
differences between a tv and movie version?  is there anyone out there
who saw it when it was actually playing in the movie theaters who
noticed other scenes added or cut from the origional?

Thanks,
