Criticism has been brought heavily upon some episodes of Making the Video. Recently, when +44 had announced their special world premiere of their video "When Your Heart Stops Beating", the program was never aired, and instead replaced with AFI. Angels & Airwaves had a similar case with their premiere of "Do It for Me Now".
