   Well, we actually got the full episode. Sounds like you didn't, unless you   
   didn't look up as it was starting, as the familiar chorus was replaced by the   
   Avengers-esque music. It had clouds and a couch gag, then cut to the silent   
   movie title card with no    
   TV. Many episodes these days skip the opening sequence entirely (or do very   
   abbreviated ones, such as clouds only), but this wasn't one of them; in   
   general you'll know if it was something like that if the "created by" and   
   "developed by" credits run at    
   the bottom with/before the rest.   
      
   Actually, I forgot that episode had no TV (created/developed by) despite   
   having a couch gag until just double-checking my notes from last month, but   
   tonight's new episode (YABF06) did the same thing. I wonder if this is the   
   start of another weird trend.
