They should have keep it the way it was. Also I didn't the REMIX of the opening Theme in the 2nd ep because the FRESH FRECKLED FACE line was Cut out. The pilot was A$$ but the Themes was very very nice

Must have been the syndicater that changed the opening theme. The DVD (which has that episode) has the long version. I believe it had the long version when it aired on E! too.

Or it could be the ION editers doing their magic like they have done with the episodes-lol Going to a commercvial while a character is in a middle of a sentence

The edited opening was definitely not a regular thing on the show. Most episodes use the full thing.

IMO, the regular closing theme is better, with Linda Lavin ad-libbing throughout. It has a really good sound, I think. It sounds so gorgeous at the end, too.

The S1 episode "Mel's Cup" on In2TV had that shorter opening and the episode is uncut there(running around 25min).
So,this could have been a version that CBS occasionally used,just like ABC did with Three's Company(the shorter S4 opening and S8 opening showed up on one episode in the S4/S8 DVDs).

"and she's lookin' good"...God, that part of the song I CAN'T STAND! The way she sings it is so annoying. She really emphasizes the word GOOD.
