Well, I just watched it again...
Total time with the opening theme: 21:22 Total time without the opening theme: 19:52
I stopped counting the moment the first name in the credits appeared
Opening theme: 1:30 Act One: 5:25 Act Two: 8:10 Act Three: 6:17
I would like it if someone who didn't watch the episode on Global could tell me if it's different... Global is known to screw with the episodes like that. The episode does seem short, doesn't it?
Thanks for your help

When episodes have a full opening, they are quite a bit shorter. This one used one of the longest existing openings... the kick-line/circus act opening. The ending probably lasted around 55 seconds. That might indicate around 15~20 seconds of pre-Fox cuts.

It should also be pointed out that the episode started *early*. I commented on this several weeks back; now I make it a point to look at a clock I have which calibrates itself daily to the WWV atomic clock in Ft. Collins, Colorado. "Half-Decent Proposal" began at 7:59:22 ET, "The Bart Wants What it Wants" began at 7:59:19 ET.
Well, here we don't get the full credits at the end because Global people are all big jerks. Do you think that most episodes last around 21:22 counting the opening theme but not the end credits? If so, I guess (maybe), Global didn't cut any scenes.
Do you know how many minutes total the episode had on your station?

I imagine it's close to what you had. 21:30 sounds about right, if you're not counting the ending.
Thanks, I'll just assume I saw the full episode for now until I see the capsule on snpp or it comes on again in reruns and I can watch it on Fox instead of Global.
The idiots here cut the American signal on the Fox station to make sure we get the Canadian commercials.
About the end credits, whenever something interesting happens in the credits (like in The Blunder Years), we normally get to see that, but as soon as the "interesting" thing stops, they cut that to put some preview for some stupid show like Boston Public or Malcom in the Middle with all the credits re-written and squished on the right part of the screen.
It's not Global's fault about the Canadian commercials. The cable company does the substitutions which are mandatory under CRTC regulations.
