It's bad enough that TV One doesn't show the end credits,

but now it
1) speeds up the opening credits (compare it to Antenna TV)
2) they use the wrong opening credits for some episodes (season 4 credits for a season 2 episode)
3) they cut down the audience laughter on some of the jokes to a second

It was joked about years ago that channels would only air about 10 minutes of an actual sitcom and the rest would be commercials....it looks like that day has come.

TV One has gone downhill too now it seems. I was in a pizza parlor a few months back and their tv was on TV One showing Sanford and Son. I was surprised to see them skip the closing credits. I wonder how long have they been skip closing credits? What you've told me here makes it worse. Sounds just like TV Land showing the wrong opening credits on Three's Company.
