One of the worst offenders of this is MythBusters in my opinion. Thankfully, I recently found streamlined-edits of MythBusters.

- harryc2011 11y agoThis happens on the BBC (which is ad-free) & it drives me mad! E.g. Dragons' Den is clearly pre-formatted to be sold to commercial channels with ad breaks - there is about 20 mins of content in a 1 hour show w/ 40 mins of recaps and dramatic panning around the 'Den'.
- acomjean 11y agoMartha Stewarts cooking (show on ad free PBS) has a tacked on "Bonus Feature" at the end that seems to be just the right amount of time that it wouldn't be needed if they were showing ads.
- jon-wood 11y agoI'd never clocked that, but all the BBC's nature programs have a 15 minute "making of" documentary at the end as well, which now you mention it must get cut for commercial networks.
