No one should be surprised, cable tv played out the same way. Got you hooked on content and then started shoving ads in so often they sped up credits or ran the credits under the commercial break to squeeze just a biiiiiit more out of you
Goddamn, that’s ridiculous. I can’t say I seen that one myself, but I also haven’t really watched cable in like a decade. I wish I could be surprised or even consider the idea even remotely hyperbolic.
TBS were the biggest offenders. It’s only slightly sped up. I only noticed because they were airing reruns of something i had watched 1.2 billion times on dvd. Really fucks with the comedic pacing when they do that. But any amount sped up can make a 22 minute show air in 21:45 or even 21:30… One or two commercials more.

Then they sped up the actual tv shows. It’s crazy, and they got away with it.
