Has anyone noticed every time they show an airplane, it's the same footage of an Air New Zealand plane taking off? Also, every time they show a courtroom, it's the same pan of an empty court room. After 60 episodes piled up on my DVR, I feel like I've seen the same footage used in several segments. Not sure if this was the case in the original broadcasts.

I do feel like I saw more footage in the "Tyler" segment though. I don't remember all that update footage of his arrest before.

They've butchered the majority of the segments, but I can't not watch.

It may be a money-saving method too. Nice observation! :)

Along similar lines did anyone else catch the Shelly Malone segment yesterday? I think they needed to show that shot of the scared trampling horse some more. I wasn't impressed the first 50 times I saw it.

Every scene where the cops are working on a case back at the station is the same. Beige room, beige file cabinets, cop on the phone, other cop walking up and putting a file folder on the desk... blah blah blah....

And just to be annoying... this thread is also a repeat! lol

We have another one around here somewhere about all the same stock scenes being used in the spike versions of UM. It makes for very boring viewing. I don't know what the producers are thinking.
