i channel playing eps in reverse and at high speed?? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Starting to look really ridiculous. Most sitcoms you can just drift from story to story, but to see Matthew Perry killed in one ep, and these he's alive in the next, annoying. Plus the ongoing Mike/Julie thing keeps moving back to before they were messing around.

Plus, glad to see I wasn't crazy, but another board mentioned the eps seem time compressed. I'm watching like "I don't remember the pace of this show being so hectic", like it's being played at a faster speed. Makes for many headaches as the lines are delivered far too fast.

Even worse tonight (1/29)...7pm episode was where they called off the wedding (where Mike and Eddie get that moose head at the end of the episode and Mike sees Julie walking on the street), while the 7:30pm episode still has them planning the wedding. It'd be one thing if the order taped were different than the order they were originally aired, but it's not the case.

Catnap, did you happen to see tonight's? Stupid arse I or ION or whatever the hell they call themselves, keep retitling episodes, so my tivo didn't record it because "Program already exists on dvr". Argggh wanted to shoot the thing.

I noticed that yesterday with the marriage proposal / cold feet episodes.

I was confused for a minute.

Its a weird type of time compression, its like it speeds up when nothing is happening, then slows downs again when there is dialog. Its not a steady "speed up", but its ridiculous, nonetheless.

I've never been so happy for N@N to finally start airing a show.
