TV Tuesday: Deja Vu

[yourlibrarian]

In the past, shows used to create “clip episodes” which were made up of segments of other episodes with a brief wraparound story. This was usually done to save money, extend writing time, or cover for the absence of a lead character.

Is this something you miss? Is there one you've particularly liked? Given currently shorter seasons, are these still being used in any shows you’ve seen?

I can't recall the last time I saw one. I'd guess it was pre-2000?
