Season chronology | |
The fifth season of the Canadian television comedy series Video on Trial premiered on MuchMusic on September 28, 2009 and concluded on September 6, 2010. It consists of 31 episodes.
The fifth season is also the first season to be shown on American television, airing on American television network Fuse TV in October 2011.
Episodes
The show uses a courtroom-style format: each episode usually consists of five music videos being "tried" by five different people, usually comedians, musicians, and entertainment columnists, acting as the "jurors". From the first to mid-fifth seasons, the end of each episode featured a final "verdict" given to each video being "tried".
Starting with the August 5, 2010 re-run of episode 5.21, a new format was put in effect which removed the final verdicts and introduced new graphics.
This list is arranged in the order in which the episodes were broadcast, and does not include spin-off "specials" (such as Stars on Trial). The list contains the air dates, episode numbers, "accused" music videos, and "jurors" of each episode of the season.
Verdicts
The following table contains the fictitious "final verdicts" given to each artist for their video. The verdicts are listed by episode, and the videos are listed in order of their "case numbers". The August 5, 2010 rerun of episode 5.21 and all succeeding episodes removed the final verdicts.
Verdicts do not apply to artists whose names are in small text.
