         But this was from their own excesses. The
         "sweetening" of all the shows with MacKenzie
         machines made the silly crowd laughs and
         applause so mechanical and predictable that
         it was a "plus" to have real, unsweetened audio.

         A similar bad one is:
         "On the next all-new xxxx, you won't believe
         who killed the plot."

         This grew out of the abuse of "clips" from
         older shows making up more and more
         of a "new" show.

         Still, it grates every time I hear it.
