      Revisionism should be outlawed. Imagine Friends without the intro song, or the same thing for South Park or Simpsons or Seinfeld or King of the Hill.

      Every time I run across a show that has this happened to it, I imagine a full on lightning bolt hitting whoever thought it was a good idea.

          Oh god. I completely forgot about that one. That intro was by far the best, but the others did a fair job of following the same motif, and could reasonably pass as following or successive season intros.

        This is why you become a data hoarder and save all the original versions on your own local storage.

        I can’t wait until a studio replaces an entire character with a new actor using generative AI, kind of like Lucas did with Anakin in Return of the Jedi but for an entire series. It’ll be a shitshow.

        It already happens in games with voice actors. I’m fine with it when it’s done because the actor turned out to be a sexual predator or something, but a few live service games recast VAs during the recent(-ish) voice actor strikes, then went back and rerecorded every line ever said by their characters. That was pretty gross.
