Also, I don't know if you watch CSI: Las Vegas, but they also had weird editing issues. Imagine that they filmed two complete but totally unrelated episodes, one that runs 45 minutes long on screen and one that runs 75 minutes on screen. Then they realize that neither of these fits into a 60 minute time slot. So they lopped the first 15 minutes off of the 75 minute ep, stuck them onto the end of the 45 minute episode, and inserted a "To Be Continued" screen into the place where they severed the 75 minute ep. That's exactly how CSI went. I thought the ep was over at 9:45, but it kept going and then proceeded to set up two whole new plots, both of which were totally unrelated to the first 45 minutes. It was a completel WTF moment.
