What changes did the Sci-Fi Channel make when they aired Buckaroo Banzai?

The following information was provided by Bradford B Baldwin, GM Skarka, and BBI-CrazyHorse :

• The Sci-Fi channel cuts the scene where Buckaroo is running from the truck. They cut before the ladder drops in front of Buckaroo, leaving out the set-up for Scooter and his dad.
  
  
• They cut out Artie's entire bit before the concert. They just jump right into the walk-through to the stage.
  
  
• When New Jersey is realizing the Welles connection, originally he said "well, maybe it wasn't a hoax--er, isn't a hoax"--on SCIFI they cut the scene after "wasn't a hoax".
  
  
• They chopped the crap out of the jetcar experiment--you don't see the overthruster beam fire, and the 8th Dimension sequence is truncated, too.
  
  
• The SCI-FI channel also cut the scene where New Jersey is typing on the computer, which at the same time he seams to be playing the "Team March!"
