Why pick a joke that happens at the beginning of the next short story for the preview, i dont need to hear the same joke 2 times within a 2 minute span. Fix this please, either cut the preview out or pick a joke near the middle or end of story.

Totally agree. We're already watching, no need for previews. I'm guessing the producers are thinking the audience have massive ADD and we need that extra device to keep us interested, and from tuning into something else.
shareI agree. At the moment I can't remember which show it is that I watch that when it comes back from commercial shows about 30 seconds of what just happened before it went to commercial. I about lose my mind when I have to watch it live instead of the DVR.
shareIm pretty sure I watch the same show, cant think of it either

I can't think of any scripted programs that do this, but I notice it while watching Deadliest Catch, Moonshiners, and The Curse of Oak Island. Something allegedly dramatic happens such someone at least appearing to be injured, something breaks or goes awry, machinery goes haywire, or something significant is found. Cut to commercial. Then replay the previous shot and reveal is wasn't as serious as it was made out to be, or it's entirely much ado about nothing. Between that and the previews of what happens later in the episode there's a lot of time that's filled, or rather wasted.
Pardon my ranting and nit-picking, but commercials used to account for a quarter of a given time slot so an hour show would actually be 45 minutes and a half hour show would be 22 to 23 minutes. Those numbers have generally decreased to at most 43 and 21 respectively. Meanwhile a show will run past it's stated end time and gets cut off by a DVR. Then networks such as Comedy Central run syndicated shows in 35 minutes slots which only means that there's more commercials and the actual episodes' start and end times could be off such that the DVR misses the beginning or end. Maybe it's a catch-22 where networks and advertisers know that so many viewers have DVRs and thus aren't watching commercial so they put more commercials in to make up the difference in theoretically lost commercial viewership and revenue.

Is it just me or did they incoude a scene in the previews that we never got to see. The little girl asking about boobs and the mom asking her if she saw clementine in a bikini.
shareI was thinking the same thing! They put it in the preview, but then it wasn't actually in the segment at all. They must have cut it out at the last minute and forgot to update the preview.
