Corporate Commercial Television trying to present something like Ken Burns??
Aside from the commercial break every seven to ten minutes,
they would probably present each episode weekly,
making it impossible to keep track of what is happening!
I've even taken to recording it to review the next day on parts that
weren't clear to me!
