I was afraid that would be the case, but was kinda hoping it'd be a Dawson's Creek kinda deal. In R2 they released a Best-of Dawson's Creek DVD a couple of years ago, containing 2 episodes from season 1 and 2 from season 2.
And the season 2 episodes featured on that release are the only ones that had no replaced music whatsoever on the R1 set (including Springsteen). I always figured there had to be a connection between those releases as it was just too much of a coincidence.
Well, in the end it doesn't matter. Another episode without the title theme won't change anything, and I'll buy it regardless. I won't feel good about it though.
