I've noticed how they've shortened the intro and I agree that they've really made it horrible now. Everything just feels so...rushed and sloppy!
I also wouldn't want them to cut out any part of the show for commercials, just as some of you were mentioning earlier. I guess if I had to pick between both ideas I'd rather have a shorter intro before a shorter show, but I still think that CN has shown carelessness by doing this to Foster's.
