You'll most likely get a cookie-cutter response of "Thank you for your concerns, we will take your advice into consideration. Thank you." As much as that sucks, that's how ALL FORMS of customer service usually work.

i was preparing food for the dogs and had my back turned from the TV, and noticed that they left out a pretty good chunk of the theme song. a feeling of 'o i see what u did there' came over me.

i think its all to make room for more commercials and such. 10 seconds may not feel like a lot, but when they also cut time out of other commercials, cutting out bits and pieces here and there, it adds up just enough to squeeze in another commercial, which means more money for them. :[

but i dont think writing them a letter to ask would do much good, theyre a big big company and probably only .3% (totally made that percentage up) of their emails actually get replies.

idk. the whole shortening thing doesnt bother me much though.

Y'know, I only just thought of this, but Fosters has the greatest intro to any CN cartoon I've ever seen. And that's including The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy one, which rocks out loud. This is probably why this thing bugs me so much, even though I don't even have to put up with it.

The old episodes shortened; how?

He's probably referring to the shortened intro "introducing" the old eppies as well as the new ones. I remember shortly after they shortened the intro, I would see the shortened intro and think the eppie just starting must be one of the new ones because it had the new intro. But nope. All the reruns, from all seasons, now have the new shortened intro. Grrrrr....

Jeez, you're really a diehard Frankie fangirl.
