The episode where Steve and Carl shrunk was On today and ABC Family edited it heavily. So bad they didnt even show them get back to normal size! They ended it with Steve annd Carls Hug. I Know if i was watching that for the first time i would be confused.

That's because the part when they go back to normal size was part of the closing credits which are edited out of every episode. That's why I really don't think it' a good idea the way they do this.

I don't like the cutting out of closing credits either. It's fine in the early episodes and in the few episodes in the later season where there were no tags, but they should at least show the closing scene and then they can do the split credits. That is one of the few dislikes I have for ABC Family.

I agree. Tag scenes are part of the show. What about the episode where Urkel transforms into Elvis. Michelle Thomas appears in that one, but not before the tag scene. That really screws things up.

Agreed. If that's the way ABC Family wants to do it then ABC Family should be a free channel. For $40 a month I want all the reruns to be uncut!!!

ABC Family is free. It comes on expanded basic cable, if you have cable, you have ABC Family.

By "free" I wanted ABC Family to be free, just like ABC, CBS, NBC, Pax (at least in a few markets), and the rest. I don't have cable--$40 a month for expanded basic is INSANE!!!

I see your point. Although, I didn't get cable for ABC Family. I watch much more cable than the broadcast networks.

I don't know about that. I have cable at home, but I only get a few local stations and I believe the Catholic Channel and Animal Planet. I only get channels like ABC Family, Nick at Nite, Cartoon Network, Disney, etc. when I'm at the dorm.
