Has anyone else noticed how sped up and edited the credits are on This TV? Mr Ed looks like he's having a seizure.

It's the same way on Hallmark Movie Channel.

I noticed that as well. All the episodes are also cut from 25 mins down to 22 mins.

At least it's on TV.

All syndicated episodes suffer from this to some extent. You'll recall in first-run, for example, "Mr. Ed" contained a little sponsor billboard for Studebaker (or in later seasons, Dow Chemical Company's Handi-Wrap) and a similar closing billboard that took about 30 seconds total. Add an opening, middle and closing spot of 60 seconds each , and about a minute for both opening and closing themes, and you've got about 25 minutes of actual show.

Nowadays, the sponsor breaks are usually two minutes a break, and they gotta cut down on the time somewhere. I agree, Ed looks like he's about to bust the stable doors down during the closing credits!
