Those of you who just watch the tapes won't have the slightest idea of what I'm talking about.
First all of the networks starting putting rather large and obvious names or logos in the corner of the screen throughout most programs. Supposedly with the advent of cable and all the channels, they figured one couldn't necessarily tell what was on and they had to make sure one saw their name.
Recently, it's become a thing to advertise upcoming shows. So, when one returns from a commercial, watching one show, there's a big name announcing the show that follows or something. It gets quite annoying.
But, SciFi has really gone too far lately. Their moving SciFi logos were bad enough. Their upcoming show promos are much too large and stay on much too long. But, recently they've added the promo for one show where they have about 4 moving white and red figures running around while the other show (in this case, DS) is playing.
I cannot see any justification for networks to mess up one show to advertise another, but this one with those moving figures is beyond tolerance. I get SOOOO AGGRAVATED!!
