I hadn't heard anything about trouble with Jim over this. So far as I'm aware, the FC just decided to switch to Rifftrax, since it didn't cost as much and gave them a wider range of available product. In any case, so far as I know, Jim hasn't been hassling them or CT over format.
I'd be interested in knowing your source on this, Dex. Maybe I missed something.
