Video on Trial is one of the best if not the best show that ever aired on MuchMusic in Canada. If they had just taken classic episodes of that series and aired them on Fuse in the states it would have been just fine and continued that success. Instead for some reason they tried to reinvent the wheel and make changes that were not necessary for no apparent reason and killed the format.
The biggest problem is the new American cast who simply were not at all funny. Even on their own, if you didn't watch classic Video on Trial with the amazing jurors they used to have on there, they still seem awful.
I guess it's not too surprising when you consider that MuchMusic also changed the format of the show and killed it too. Why did they do that? We will never know. It's sad to see a classic show get ripped off and then just make changes to allow it to die but I guess they must have had their reasons.
