I agree that 100% of a player's time is unreasonable to expect. However, if you think shooting anything that actually airs on any television channel with enough viewership to get watched, is a five-minute process, you just haven't been a part of video production. I have a background in film production, and shooting even just a thirty-second commercial for the Armed Forces Network is an all-day affair even just for the talent and production crew; and the producer and other behind-the-scenes folk spent weeks on it, from the script to storyboarding to location scouting to casting etc., before it got to that point.
Even speaking strictly about only the time spent filming: for every minute of screen time you see on air, you can count on them having shot ten minutes of footage, usually more. And you don't just show up and start shooting instantly: for every minute of shooting there's five minutes of lighting set-up, makeup, set design, sound set-up, camera re-positioning, talent coaching from the director, etc. Shooting a twenty-two-minute segment (leaving eight minutes for commercials) is easily a twelve-hour day.
How long do you think Van Noy and Karras was at the restaurant? Three or four hours?
I'm sure KVN hired a crew to handle the editing etc...
Anyway I really don't see the big deal in it at all. To each his own.
