Lorelai on speed
This interesting tidbit about TV syndication is brought to you by lonelysandwich, who originally read it at neonmarg:
A lot of TV shows when run in syndication are sped up slightly and voices pitch corrected to sound normal (this lets the station get more commercials in). We observed that this is an unwise techinque when applied to the fast-talking Gilmore Girls.
Yes “techinque” is misspelled, but this is still a very interesting tidbit. I hadn’t noticed — I’ll have to try A-B’ing some Friends on TBS with a DVD of the same show.

Very unwise to do that with Gilmore Girls… I have a hard enough time catching all of their witty smart-people comments that require me to google search what they mean… Can’t imagine trying to catch all of them at double speed.
