By any chance was Tomoyo "Madison" in the original dub? One of the few things I remembered from "Cardcaptors" was a dark haired character named Madison who skated around and had a video camera. Now I realize I must have combined her with Sakura in my memory. Did they keep the name Sakura at least?

Sakura was still Sakura in both dubs (though the original dub changed her family/last name to be less Japanese-y) and Tomoyo was indeed changed to Madison in the original dub. Also, Sakura was the one that skated around (not Tomoyo) but Tomoyo was the one who always had a camera and filmed Sakura. So you did kind of sort of combine them in your old memories by accident.

They also chopped up and rearranged it? Kind of sounds like they Robotech'd CCS.

Yep, it was a mess. Nelvana wanted to market the show (and the cards as real-life merch) more to boys to try and catch the same spark that Pokemon did, so they heavily edited the show to downplay Sakura and make Syaoran (who they renamed by making Li his first name rather than his last) seem more like the main character. Because god forbid a show with a female main character try to market to anything but little girls...

i think like 3 episodes worth of content

You forgot a digit. Cardcaptors ran for 39 episodes while the actual Cardcaptor Sakura was 70, so they removed 31 episodes worth of content.
