The second season of the Canadian television comedy series Video on Trial premiered on MuchMusic on August 27, 2006 and concluded on July 15, 2007. It consists of 30 episodes plus one mostly unaired special, VOT: The Hair Bands Edition.
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".
Verdicts do not apply to artists whose names are in small text.
