Wiki.
Video on Trial is a Canadian comedy television program that airs on Canadian television network MuchMusic. The show consists of a of musicians, comedians, and entertainment columnists critiquing five different music videos in a courtroom-esque manner. The acts as the jurors, poking fun at and questioning each artist's behaviour in each video. Artists' personal lives and off-set behaviour are usually mocked by the critics in relation to the music video. They are shown in separate clips to use their opinions.
Since its debut on August 15, 2005, the show has become one of the most highly rated and successful shows on MuchMusic, attracting a dedicated cult following and has garnered a Gemini Award nomination. The show also experienced a brief run on American television, airing on television network Fuse TV from October 2011 to early 2012 before being replaced by another series, Special Videos Unit: Video on Trial, based upon the same premise as the original Canadian Video on Trial.
At the start of the ninth season, the show's format was overhauled to feature recurring sketches and segments. The was replaced by Aisha Alfa and Paul Lemieux. Only four episodes into the revamp, which was not well received, the show was cancelled as part of significant cutbacks at Bell Media on July 11, 2014.
