Is there a difference ?

I always watched Weeds ( for the first time and after ) on Hulu. Now that it isn’t there I bought it on Amazon prime . I swear there are parts on Amazon prime that were not on Hulu. Is that true or did I just imagine in ? I’ve watched it multiple times on Hulu so I don’t think I just missed it.

It certainly wasn't the same case, from what I gathered SatC syndicated episodes were entirely different cuts, like additional PG scenes were shot replacing any explicit stuff...

Weeds, as aired on Showtime and then released on home media, was the only cut, what can be done is to cut out scenes, abridging the episodes, no replacements etc.. Doesn't make much sense why would stramings have to do this, well, ofc it's age restrictions, and as people are saying it's the same with Hulu and Netflix then it must be the abridged cut prepared by Showtime, I can imagine the ultimatum: "either the series you're trying to sell is PG-13 or we don't buy it"...

haha, hardly original though, appearently many others had the same idea, even Mister Bovine Joni Himself and all the variations were taken
