Why are the tv-show credits 5 minutes in?

What you are describing is known as a "cold open" - jumping into the story of a show before running the opening credits.\n\nThis practice was not popular until the 1990's, although some earlier shows have been doing it since the 1960's.  The intent is to hook you into the show from the start (often by having some kind of cliffhanger at the end of the opening scene) so you won't change channels - thus why this type of opening used to be called a "teaser."

The problem that you will find is that the clips you seek are copyrighted material, and have a marketable value.\n\nTherefore, the copyright owners (TV stations and TV production companies, normally) are going to be very reluctant to let the material be freely available online.

It usually gets cut out to be replaced by commercials, and usually the viewers don't even notice or aren't concerned. A number of Adult Swim's anime shows do show the episode titles, though.

I work for a TV station, and I get this question a lot. It isn't anything that we are trying to do to get anyone's attention. Part of it is that the programs and commercials are produced by different production companies, so there are bound to be some differences. Another part of it is that programs often do not need to crank up the volume throughout the whole show. Like the person before me said, dialogue is often quite a bit softer than the music/announcer that you hear on a commercial.

Paying for the music gives you personal rights to its use. Generally, that doesn't give you any rights to redistribute it to others. \n\nAs to the 8-seconds, it sounds like you're talking about application of the Fair Use provisions of Copyright law. These are tricky, and it's always a fuzzy area what constitutes Fair Use. Most courts still haven't come down with a bright-line rule on this issue.\n\nAnecdote: I did something similar a while back, for the equivalent of a blog (before blogs were called that). I contacted the legal/licensing department of whatever TV network or studio produced the show. Then I explained briefly that I wanted to use small clips of the music for a non-profit commentary on the show and asked what the licensing requirements are.\n\nThere is also another angle you can try. If you are broadcasting your podcast, you might be able to qualify for the mandatory broadcast licensing provisions of the copyright code. Again, this is a complex area of law and you should do a lot of research (and/or find an attorney) before trying to claim this as a defense.

I heard that they film for roughly 8 or 9 days, but have editing afterward.  I think they typically air the episodes about 6-8 weeks after it's filmed.

Try to put the closed captioning on during that part of the movie.  If not, look at the end credits for it.  Sometimes the title of the song has nothing to do with the words, but you could try to listen to the songs on-line (like the samples before you buy) to confirm it.

Usually that stands for 1 credit hour.\n\n1 credit = 1 hour\n\nOr are you trying to determine the actual amount of time spent taking the course?

I think you're talking about how the movie is edited, right? If you watch the credits it will usually say at the end. I remember how excited I was to see at the end of one of the Star Trek movies that it was edited on the same program that I learned to edit movies on -- NewTek Video Toaster!
