I think we can all agree we are tired of the recaps after each commercial break. My theory is that it is driven by advertising. They recap after the breaks so people that are channel surfing and joining the show in progress are more likely to become engaged. That's great for building your audience but it's kind of insulting to the fans you already have. At very least they should edit out the recaps when they sell them to streaming services or any other commercial free services. But the show has been on for 45 years so I doubt we will see any changes in the immediate future. The good news is we all have fast forward buttons.
