Do you LIKE or DISLIKE the way TVLand scrunches the end credits of their TV shows?(yes,I know most networks and cable outlets do it,too,but not like TVLand.Are there any cable outlets or local stations that don't?)

retrofan05 · 07-23-2010, 07:43 PM

I don't like it. It takes away from the show, especially shows that have extensive ending credits with a theme song.

As for me,I DISLIKE it immensely.THAT'S why I watch "Bewitched" on WGN and "Home Improvement"on TBS-At least on those 2 shows,neither WGN nor TBS scrunch the credits on those shows the way TVLand does.Question:TVLand USED to air the shows they aired late at night-early morning with full-screen closing credits.Do they still do it?

I can't stand it!!!!

That's one reason I don't watch them anymore!!

But at least they don't cut them out completly like BBC AMERICA does with "STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION"

we have a local station that shows "GET SMART" & "HAWAII FIVE-O" and they don't do it with those shows. Also, TBS doesn't do it with "FRIENDS" and "SIENFELD", CW doesn't do it with "THE KING OF QUEENS", "EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMOND", "SOUTH PARK", THAT 70s SHOW", "FRASIER", and "STAR TREK; THE NEXT GENERATION". And TBS and ION don't do it with "MY NAME IS EARL" and ION doesn't do it with "MASH", also ABC FAMILY doesn't do it with "THAT 70s SHOW" and FOX doen't do it with "SIENFELD" and reruns of "THE SIMPSONS", MY NETWORK TV doesn't do it with "TWO AND A HALF MEN" and "FAMILY GUY"

And I forgot to add:SOMETIMES(not always)The Hallmark Channel airs "The Golden Girls"with the full-screen ending credits left in tact.And on WGN,when they air "Matlock",they reduce the screen,yes,(same with "Bewitched","The Beverly Hillbillies" and "I Dream of Jeannie")but other than that,they have the closing theme intact.

And the closing credits in tact as well.

GMC airs full credits.

I hate when they scrunch the credits. It makes them impossible to read. And I'm always trying to glean some information from the closing credits like the name of a guest star. With the scrunched credits it's impossible!

Why would anyone watch TVBLand. Fool me once shame on TVL, Fool me twice--shame on ME!

clj2 · 07-24-2010, 01:43 AM

I'm used to it. It doesn't really bother me (it's not like you could read them before anyway).
