- "Captain's Log: Supplemental. We are now at the 22-minute mark, so I'm going to explain the situation for any viewers that just flipped to this channel."

I guess it was a thing of that time. For example, every single Discovery Channel criminal investigations series. Every damn commercial break and they have to spend half its between-commercials time retelling everything.

You also have the hilarious opposite extreme. Last time I was at the dentist, they had Judge Judy on the TV. Prior to every commercial break, they'd give you a preview of what was coming up next. Without fail, the preview of what was coming up next was basically EXACTLY what was after the break. Word for word, second for second. You got to watch everything TWICE.
