CN itself actually may not have much, if anything, to do with the squashing of the credits or the credits of the last show going on one side of the screen while the intro of the next show going on the other. It must be a Turner Broadcasting thing. TNT and TBS are doing the same thing with their shows. Nick does it too sometimes, although they're owned by an entirely different company. It seems to be a trend going around the different networks. Ick...
Anyway, back to the eppie, I found it amusing to hear Frankie talk in the same manner she did in "Say it isn't Sew", very articulate and clear and loud. I have to talk the same way at work sometimes to be sure the people I'm talking to understand me, especially when I feel whatever it is I'm saying might be confusing. It's more frustrating though when whoever I'm talking to thinks I'm talking like that because I think they're dumb or I'm mocking them or something. Ok, maybe sometimes I am...

But honestly, usually it's more just to help myself keep my thoughts organized and make sure they understand me. I understand why she talks like that sometimes.
