You get to fix one of your pet peeves about shows and movies...

No question – I’d end the practice of recaps when returning from commercial break. Seriously. I watch a lot of history channel stuff, where this is especially bad, but it’s common everywhere. Sometimes almost the entire show so far is quickly repeated each time the story returns. It’s disrespectful to your serious viewers, as if saying, “if you just tuned in, here’s the entire program you missed…if you’ve been with us from the start, ***** you, we’re going to waste your time rehashing everything you just sat through, and for the sixth consecutive time.”

People who tune in late KNOW they’re coming in in the middle; let them adapt.

I know why it’s done…probably to save content. Who wants to produce 22 whole minutes of icky content, when we could just make 8 minutes and rehash it after every break?

This is a relatively new thing, isn’t it? Drives me crazy and I feel somehow cheated out of content.
