Yes. The first show they did it with was Gidget.

Exactly right. They remove frames from the picture when the tape transfer is done. You can't just run the tape slower, you have to put the missing frames back in and that can only be done with a re-transfer from film. Image did go back to the film elements for the 5th and final season, which...

Time compression/speed-up and Lexiconing, as it was originally called when Lexington Broadcast System started the process, has been around for about 30 years or so. I'm not sure how anyone could claim to know anything about television and not know about this. To me, that speaks volumes and...
