When I bought a DVR, some cable networks were starting to speed up scenes of shows in order to fit in all of commercials.[0] I think this started in the late 90's but that's just my personal recollection. I did spot a Reddit thread pointing out this issue seven years ago. I suspect some scenes are cut from syndicated shows for the same reason.
