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 entertainmentcolumnists, 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".
The seventh season currently uses the format introduced in season 5, which featured new graphics and removed the final verdicts that were previously given to each accused video.
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.
In a similar style to MuchMusic's former Fromage specials, the "worst" videos of 2011 were showcased. In traditional "countdown" style, the videos were aired in reverse numerical order, with the 20th place video critiqued first and finishing with the 1st.
