So far so good. I noticed there is no long theme to these season 2 episodes. I bet these are local syndication prints. Nothing major edited and nothing really new, I think.

Yeah, the only place I ever saw the longer theme was on ABC Family(which airs the original theme for the pilot), TBS and WGN never did so I'm not surprised it was cut.

The one thing I am happy to see? The original closing credits, even if they are shrunk and talked over. ABC Family never showed them, and in the later seasons there were scenes as the credits rolled. Looking forward to seeing those again.

I noticed a couple of cut scenes. Like in the dance contest episode, I don't remember them saying Richie sold the most tickets. Plus they edited in music so we know a commercial break is coming!

I don;t think I will start noticing edits until I see eps from the 1993-1996 era because those are the ones I remember watching on ABC the most. I don;t really remember the full length eps from the 1989-1992 era.

I really enjoyed watching FM last night. It was weird for me, though, because I wasn't used to watching the show at night - I used to always watch on ABC Family in the afternoons - I'll get used to it though

I wish they could has used the longer theme - it didn't seem the same without it. And these are definitely different edits than on ABC Family - there a few seems I didn't remember seeing since the 90's. Looking forward to it again tonight!

That was another thing I hated about ABC Family, they would have commercial breaks in odd places and happen with no warning.

I also liked that there were only 2 breaks(though they did seem to last forever), it flowed a lot better I thought.

Oh yeah, and the long theme lives forever on YouTube.

and I was also thinking how weird it was to watch it late at night. My mom's complaining because it airs too late, LOL, but I love it.

Yeah, that was a funny scene. One thing I hate about NAN now, though, is that they show too many Nickelodeon commercials during Nick at Nite hours. After 9pm, they need to quit showing commercials for their Nickelodeon shows and only commercials for the NAN shows, IMO.

Wonder how the marathon did ratings-wise.

Yeah, I hated that. Oh and at 8:59 my mom turned Nick on and was like "are you sure it's coming on at 9?" It's such a quick transition.

Wow! That is the first time I've ever seen that super-long theme song. I'm probably in the minority but I'm glad they cut it in syndication. It seemed to go on forever and a theme song's purpose is to introduce the cast. There was like 30 seconds of just scenes from the show which is unnecessary.

I liked the little FYI tidbits they did in between commercials...I didn't know the original theme song was supposed to be Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World!"

You guys should see this thread! It has all the original theme song versions INCLUDING WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD!!!! Because the threads old, a few have been deleted, but only ones that play the short theme song.
