I know this, that's why I said....

I know both of those examples are from Sci-Fi but it's the same with Criminal Minds and Jericho and other shows on other networks.
Then, as if that wasn't bad enough, they feel the need to tell you about all the other shows that are coming up.... |
I hate to say it, but that proved the stereotype of a short attention span right there Layni.
It just happened they were the only examples that I had on the hard drive at the time of the post, but I could screen grab any number of examples from any number of networks.
I watched Criminal Minds last night, (last week's episode I was a bit behind), and it told me after every ad break that I was watching Criminal Minds and then went on to tell me about all of the incarnations of CSI that were gonna be shown and Numbers and whatever other crap i wasn't interested in.
We don't need ads for other shows invading the one's we're already watching as they run any amount of promo's for them anyways and as I also said, there is on screen displays (EPG's), Listings magazines, TV listings in newspapers, text options that have TV listings and then they'll tell you over the end credits all about the upcoming shows that they already invaded the screens with.
