Is Antenna TV trying to be creative by doing this with two shows at the same time? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Just saw that they were doing a split screen and on one screen it was the closing credits of One day at a Time and the other screen was the opening credits of Three's Company

Why the hell did they decide to do that? LOL

there's an entire thread on here where some people are complaining about that, they're only doing it to some of their shows. They're not doing it with NEWHART and ALL IN THE FAMILY to name 2.

They say on their Facebook page that surveys show that most viewers like a smooth transition between shows. I just hope that this isn't the beginning of a downward slide for them and they don't become like TV LAND and NICK AT NITE.

There's also a thread for antenna tv compressing ending credits, and yesterday talks about how that happened, on last page of thread

BigManMike · 06-23-2015, 08:12 AM

They hadn't been doing it at night before. This is really bad now. At least they still aren't doing it with The Jeffersons but I wonder how long that will last.

I think they do it on purpose to discourage people who are wanting to record shows for a collection. So they mess with the end credits and do other things so people won't bother recording the shows. If Antenna TV says that most viewers prefer a "smooth transition" between shows, LOL that is a pile of BS, they can come up with a better lie than that. It is an insult to the viewers intelligence if they really think people believe that bullcrap. People who watch the old shows want to see them in their unaltered form, end credits and all. No cropping, no split screen garbage.

Well they defintely stopped anyone from having a One day at a time collection when they decided to air the eps in a crazy order lol

They don't do that with the jefferson or threes company so why do it with a show that is not complete on DVD?

BigManMike · 06-23-2015, 04:08 PM

I honestly wonder if someone new joined the staff at Antenna TV in recent months and if it's possible this person may have previously worked for a cable network that dos split screen credit crunches and decided to bring it to Antenna TV? I know whoever decided to it, I hope they get fired.

It makes me want a commercial between the two shows.
