EVERY MORNING I WAKE UP AND OPEN PALM SLAM A WHITE WHALE INTO THE PEQUOD. IT'S HELL'S HEART AND RIGHT THEN AND THERE I STRIKE AT THEE ALONGSIDE WITH THE MAIN CHARACTER, ISHMAEL.

that describes everything on tv now
few shows are as blatant though. first 5 mins are always previews of what's to come. each of the 5-6 commercial breaks are surrounded by a 2-3 minutes of "when we come back , this is going to happen!!!" bookended by "earlier in the program, we saw this!!!". the last 5 minutes before the final reenactment is a summary of the whole hour. that's basically up to 28 minutes of the hour eaten up by repetition of the other 20 minutes of actual content

it's really bad that way

my favorite technique they use to pad out "reality shows" is to show a very simple thing happening, like the contestants meet in a room and there's a box with a sheet over it then we cut to interviews:
"and they brought us into the studio and there was a box"
"this box could be anything"
*another shot of the contestants standing there doing nothing*
"I'm starting to get pretty nervous"
"what's under the sheet?"
*a shot of the feet of the host and a MYSTERY GUEST*
"so we're just standing there waiting for the host when"
*cut to amazed freakout shot and music swell*
*bumper: after the break, amazed face shot again, some running around*
COMMERCIALS
*15 second quick cut of exactly what happened before the break*
*disappointing D-grade celebrity reveal*
*a full minute of interviews and reaction shots*

That's like 8 minutes of television out of maybe 30 seconds of action. It's like the gift shop sketch but with jump cuts to studio interviews

Daivd mitchell is terrible in nearly everything except peep show, his "watch me moan about something" routine he pulls in every quiz show is tiresome.

A birdwatcher who cannot identify a certain bird will often have a strong intellectual need to identify that bird because it represents a hole in their knowledge; however, others might have no intellectual need, even though they also cannot identify the bird.

Rodney William Ansell (1 October 1954 – 3 August 1999) was an Australian from "the bush" who served as the inspiration for Paul Hogan's character in the 1986 film "Crocodile" Dundee. Ansell became famous in 1977 after he was stranded in extremely remote country in the Northern Territory, and the story of his survival for 56 days with limited supplies became news headlines around the world. In 1999, he was killed in a shootout with law enforcement officers.
