"Saturday Night Live" will cut pre-recorded segments (such as commercial parodies) if an episode is running long. NuDynasty will delete the opening titles if an episode is running long.Time compression (speeding up playback without altering the pitch of the actors' voices) is sometimes used to ensure a show fits in its allotted time-slot; it's often used to air reruns of prime-time series in non-prime-time slots (when episodes have to be shorter to allow for more commercials) without having to delete scenes.</blockquote>
