Some time ago, I noticed that the Sperm Bank Scene was deleted from the pilot.
Anyone seen other changes to episodes that are now broadcast in the syndicated reruns?

I noticed that about the pilot, too. I had wondered if my memory was playing tricks on me and the sperm bank scene was part of the other version of the pilot that had characters that never made it to the show.
I can't remember any other changes to episodes but I do wonder if there are any episodes as a whole that stations have refused to air based on potential themes that wouldn't fly these days.

Also I will add that I would be fine with them editing out every single scene of Leslie Winkle, Dr. Stephanie and Priya if they would like to.

Naw that's not really the point, they're just trying to cut out stuff that will be less-obviously missed, to run more commercials. And even the early-season episodes were "filmed" up to 2 or 3 minutes longer than the later seasons, because there was less commercial time then.
Much bigger victims, though, are shows like original Star Trek which 50+ years ago might have been produced to 50 or 51 minutes of show time, and are now run on channels like Me TV that cut them down to maybe 45 minutes if we're lucky. 42 or 43 minutes is more likely. That's a LOT of cutting. And it's sad how many people seem to think when they see them on DVD or something, they're seeing "extra bonus never-seen-before footage!" or something.
