Maybe I'm being just a little too negative here, particularly since it's surely the last time that CN's going to give the show any decent kind of spotlight, but screening about a third of the season in a single sitting does feel to me like they're purposefully rushing things somewhat. As you say, it's better than nothing, but often it's better to spread your farewells a little more gently, than to exit in one big, fiery, though abrupt and kind of overwhelming bang.

I totally second that. I've been irritated with CN for a while with how they're treating Foster's. They bring EEnE, Lazlo, Billy and Mandy, and even Squirrel Boy back into the schedule, but Foster's? Even a few weeks ago when Foster's was on their schedule, and it even said so on my cable network, they changed their minds at the last minute and aired something else instead. I was soo mad! They're treating Foster's differently, there's no doubt about it. Totally giving it the cold shoulder.

And I also second what T said about airing a different episode on different days so we can ponder over each episode at a time and have more time to take it all in. With how April has treated me, I have yet to get a new cable box and therefore don't have DVR right now. I'll try to get one this next week, but if not, I may miss it. I'll likely be working that day, and I may have to record it via VHS, if I can find one long enough to record all the new episodes without someone there to edit out the commercials.
