   	For the most part you haven't missed anything big.  The reruns   
   were just reruns.  But for some mysterious reason in the middle of the   
   rerun week at the end of May, one of the segments of the original show   
   was replaced with the new iPhone commercial and a Studio 60 parody.  I   
   don't have a reference for what the original bit was; maybe that had   
   dated substantially or maybe they just knew they were running out of   
   chances to use the outstanding Studio 6-A commercial which deserves to   
   be rerun so well.   
      
   	So far this year I haven't seen other substitutions of sketches   
   in the reruns, making that one-off even more mysterious.  Maybe they   
   were trying to see if we would notice.
