Then they sped up the actual tv shows. It's crazy, and they got away with it.

    Goddamn, that's ridiculous. I can't say I seen that one myself, but I also haven't really watched cable in like a decade. I wish I could be surprised or even consider the idea even remotely hyperbolic.

    TBS were the biggest offenders. It's only slightly sped up. I only noticed because they were airing reruns of something i had watched 1.2 billion times on dvd. Really fucks with the comedic pacing when they do that. But any amount sped up can make a 22 minute show air in 21:45 or even 21:30... One or two commercials more.
