Zwigoff told me he 'called in every favor he owed me' to persuade Crumb to be in his film: He spent nine years on the documentary 'while averaging an income of about $200 a month and living with back pain so intense that I spent three years with a loaded gun on the pillow next to my bed, trying to get up the nerve to kill myself.'

Crumb had little interest in success, turned down countless offers to license 'Keep on Truckin',' turned down an offer to host 'Saturday Night Live' with his band, drew compulsively all the time, produced small-press graphic novels of startling, often pornographic, weirdness and listened to his old records. This was not obvious to Crumb, a legendary underground artist from San Francisco whose 'Keep on Truckin'' image had become a 1960s icon, and whose cover for Janis Joplin's 'Cheap Thrills' album was a classic even apart from the music it enclosed. Zwigoff was now a filmmaker, and knew that his next subject was obviously his fellow music lover, Robert Crumb. Learning that Armstrong was still alive, he made a film about a man who was ageless, gifted in music and art, a clown and mimic, a life force.

The NBC TV version shortens a shot of Detective Casey saying “Shit”.The old 78s led Zwigoff to his first film, ' Louie Bluie' (1986) about a musician named Howard Armstrong, whose forgotten recordings from the 1930s fascinated him. The NBC TV version shortens as shot of Harry mimicking the size of Vince’s penis. The NBC TV version shortens a shot of Harry telling the security guard that he will fix his air conditioning. The NBC TV version shortens a shot of Helen calling Harry fat by saying he needs a roadmap to find his penis. The NBC TV version shortens a scene of Harry and Nikki talking about Helen’s nymphomania. The NBC TV version removes a shot of Harry pouring a diet Coke into his glass. The wine racks subsequently collapse, spilling wine everywhere and flooding the basement. The cork lands on the button of the Remington 4100-T, which begins to spit out clay pigeons at the wine racks.

As Harry thinks to himself about how to expose Helen, he accidentally pops open the bottle of champagne that he is holding. She tells him he has no idea what he is talking about and that she also does not care. He then brings up that kidnapping has many motives and asks if any of the motives sound familiar to her. She then asks him to open another bottle and turns around to fix her dress. Helen offers him some champagne but he declines. After Harry and Helen talk about the machine, Harry says that he is onto her about Jennifer’s appointment and her affair with Vince. The machine turns on and almost throws some discs before Helen stops the machine. He notices a Remington 4100-T and presses a button. The NBC TV version contains a deleted scene.

(Since the footage is sexually explicit, I will not be posting screenshots) The NBC TV version contains a longer shot of Harry looking down after he dropped his wig while the Blu-ray has some shots of the wig on the woman’s body. The NBC TV version contains an alternate and shorter scene. He then tells Dennis that he is not happy and walks away. He yells at her for teasing the hair properly. As Harry and Dennis walk through the salon, Harry takes notice to one of the stylists. The NBC TV version contains an extended scene. Nikki explains to Harry that Tim is her second cousin and that he was hired out of pity by P.J. The NBC TV version shortens the scene of Harry offering the bus passenger a diet Coke and then joking about how mixing cherries with a Coke makes it a cherry Coke. The NBC TV version removes a shot of Marie putting mud on Jennifer. The video quality is also much lower compared to the Blu-ray. The airing also shortens some scenes for sexual content, swearing and any reference of Coca-Cola.

None of the deleted scenes have been released on DVD or Blu-ray.

For it’s airing on December 15, 1991, NBC added back some deleted scenes to fit into it’s two hour slot.
