Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.
Old Shame: It's possible the Fuentes/Fugelsang era is this, as those episodes aren't shown on television anymore. Also, during the 20th-Anniversary special (where Bob Saget returned), neither Fuentes nor Fugelsang were invited to intend, and neither were acknowledged at any point during the special. Bergeron did briefly mention them during the "300th Show" special, and some clips of their host segments were shown, but that was it.
Recycled Script: Recycled clips, to be specific. As early as the Fuentes/Fugelsang era, old clips were being shown alongside fresh ones, albeit with new commentary. Most of the music montage segments were built on editing old clips together since the show's earliest days. Slightly justified in that the show is not as popular as it once was, and combined with the rise of online video (it doesn't just cause Network Decay!), it's reasonable to assume that the supply of fresh material has dwindled. Only fresh clips are eligible for the weekly prize.
