Now, one Redditor has found proof of a network sinking to a new low. TBS is actually speeding up their Seinfeld reruns by 7.5% to make room for more commercials. The Redditor even posted a side by side video to show what they are doing. I’m not sure if this makes TBS evil bastards or evil geniuses… probably a little of both.
