Too many shows on Tv
DVR was just about the greatest thing ever It's allowed me to start watching every episode of a tv show.
However, this has led to the proliferation of shows that end up requiring the viewer to watch every episode. I'm starting run out of hours in my week.
Somebody please come up with either an automated or non-automated editing system to cut out useless crap in TV shows to buy me more time. A good example of this excess fat is the Apprentice. There is no reason why that show needs to be an hour every week.
I'm guessing you could probably shave an extra 10-20 minutes off of lost and 24.
My initial thought was an algorithm to speed up non-dialogue parts up to 8X, speed up the rest of the show by 1.5 and then cutting out the bumpers to the commercials.

last nights epi of LOST could have been roughly 10 minuets... the id, the drop, and the map... that is all it was
