“Espisode”?
Misspell it once, it’s a typo. Misspell it twice, duopixel is a RETARD.

Watch That Mitchell and Webb look and watch the sketch about the Gift Shop
There are shows “THAT” don’t use this format: not “the don’t use this format”.
The same format seems to happen with shows on the Discovery network too. For a Mythbusters episode, if you took out all the recaps, restatements, removed all replays (except maybe one slow-mo for each explosion ) and previews, you might have a 15 minute show.
in germany mostly ringtone ads
Ugh… that or the late night, half naked gambling shows. And I thought American teevee was bad…
Funny, I recently made a Lol about that issue, but about Failblog videos. For some obscure reason, it doesn’t load when I call it up: http://cheezburger.com/View/3704797952
Must’ve been a glitch, because now it works. My bad.
Misspelling and grammar issues aside, this is also the format for most reality shows on Bravo: any of the Real Housewives, Top Chef, etc.
Pretty much all reality shows use this format. Great for idiots that can’t pay attention, cause they hit every clip at least twice.
Funny, the first half of this graph also applys to the newest episodes of ‘One Piece’
Nah..the FAIL is that anybody actually watches anything on MTV at all.
Almost as bad as the Rick Sanchez show on CNN, which I think must have the highest ratio of “coming up next” to actual content of any show ever.
Yep. Shame because I like the way he does the news, but I don’t get to see it for all the commercials.
Really, you can’t fault this person for their spelling. They watch enough of the mind-numbing garbage on MTV to actually notice a formula in every episode of every show. This should be a clear enough indication that we’re not dealing with one of humanity’s best or birghtest.
What’s an MTV? There used to be a music channel of that name in the 80s & 90s, but I never found out what has happened to it.
Your first mistake was watching MTV anytime after 1995.
This seems to be pretty much ANY American show. Even NCIS does this. You get a previously when it starts, then – after each break – you get a recap of everything that happened before the break, just in case you can’t remember what happened ten minutes ago.
Are Americans just THAT bad at remembering things? Can they not watch an entire show without being told EVERY TEN MINUTES what’s going on?
Because, speaking as someone who has the ability to watch an entire hour long show without forgetting what happened at the start of it, it is really annoying.
Do you think they could film two versions of each episode – one for the USA and one for the rest of the world – so we don’t have to put up with the constant non-stop reminders?
I agree. It would cut the show lenth in half.
I think it’s for the jerks we call “channel surfers”. They’re the people that can’t stay on a channel, they’ll keep changing the channel until something they like is on, so they’re likely to jump in to a show halfway. Same jerks often don’t have consideration for guests, they’ll just flip the shows without asking.
Actually, it’s called ad revenue. TV shows are costing more and more to film thanks to the ever-rising salaries of the actors and in turn, the networks are forced to provide more airtime to sponsors, therby shortening the content of the show.
Why should a U.S.-made show be required to reformat itself or spend twice the money to satisfy other countries?
Why doesn’t Britain send their shows to the U.S. in a timely fashion? Nothing like watching what I think is a new show only to find out it went off the air 3 years ago or it’s in season 3 or 4 back home in London.
Mr. Kettle meet Mr. Pot
I have no problem with adverts taking up a lot of the show. It’s the way commercial stations work, and that’s just something we have to live with.
But to spend the first two minutes after an ad-break covering what happened in the previous act? That’s nothing to do with ad-revenues or what station it’s on – that’s just…. wasteful. If they have SO little time because of ALL the ad-revenues they have to get, why not use all the time to tell a story, instead of what turns out to be about 30%?
Coincidentally, this is also the structure for DragonballZ, if you replace coming up next and advertisements with the word ‘GRR’.
An even better question than both of those is “There’s actual content in MTV shows?”
