A PROBLEM WITH MODERN TV
This might not be a huge issue to some people, but it's been bugging me for a while now. I know why it happens, but I am getting so god damn sicked of it that I had to write something about it.
So, every time I'm watching a show on the History Channel, Discovery Channel, etc, they seem to want to tell me what's going on 30 billion times!! For instance, the show starts and the announcer tells me what they are about to do. Then there's a commercial break. When the show comes back on, the announcer makes sure I'm up to speed by telling me everything that happened before the commercial break, then telling me what they are about to do, and then what the end product might be. Then, there's another commercial break. After the show comes back from that break, the announcer tells me everything that happened at the beginning before the first commercial break, then tells me what happened before the last commercial break, then tells me what they are about to do and what the end result might be.
I just read that explanation back to myself and I almost lost it. It's so fucking annoying!! I know that they figure people might be getting into the show half way through the episode, but still. If they missed something, make them watch the whole rerun at some point if they are that interested.
It's almost as if they are replaying the whole episode after each commercial break! I already saaaaaw those parts you assholes. I shouldn't be torchered just because you don't have enough content to fill up a full 24 minutes. How the hell did you even get signed to make this show anyway?!?!
I guess when it really comes down to it, it's up to me to just change the god damn channel. But, I want them to know when I hate their programming, and why I am shunning it from my life. I almost wish television was interactive to where I can write a comment about the show, directly from my TV screen, and have that comment smack the director in the face.
Some of you might be saying "I have never noticed this happen before, Fc". Then try watching Myth Busters, Gangland, that stupid fucking slow motion show, and pretty much anything else on Discovery or the History Channel. If you aren't completely frustrated after 1 hour, I would be impressed.
