There is a very obnoxious fad going on right now. I hope a lot of you are as upset about it as I am.

TV stations are posting large blurbs at the bottem of the screen advertising upcoming shows. This occures after each commercial block, when the program begins again. They totally obscure the bottom of the screem, and interrupt my enjoyment of the show/movie.

Quite a lot of them do it, actually.
The Hub, for example.

Nothing you can do about it but laugh since it;s a sign of the times. just like most cable channels don't show closing credits for shows

I have a goof laugh reading these posts, as I no longer have to put up with "Pop-Up"s as well as Commercials for that manner!

That doesn't really bother me. What bothers me is the size of the TV Rating box that obscures the actors faces on-screen and makes it difficult to watch tv.

I know. This is been going on for awhile now. I dont think they will ever change. The days of Pop-up ads, no end credits etc. are here to stay.
