Season chronology | |
The first season of the Canadian television comedy series Video on Trial premiered on MuchMusic on August 15, 2005 and concluded on August 6, 2006. It consists of 37 episodes.
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".
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 verdicts for videos with blank areas in the "verdict" field are currently unknown. Verdicts do not apply to artists whose names are in small text.
