Speed ups on ME? Opinions please - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Even though I have the entire show recorded when it ran on TBS, I am looking forward to watching it on ME. I just watched the X-mas Santa ep last night and it got to me. I had to look away because the sped up motion was making me nauseated.

I wont be watching if that's the case.

Did anyone else catch this or is it only me?

Several years ago Alice was sped up on some channel too. It wasn't too bad if you were listening to the show, but I couldn't watch that one either.

I understand the need for commercial time, but MF was an 80s show that probably ran around 21-22 min. There's plenty of time for ads. Why speed it up?

Money's got to be the definitive answer to that. The worse the way an older show is presented, the more commercial time, and the more money (in essence, the money pours in).
