I'm really sick and tired of the last segments of shows being cut off by advertising. (They pop the advertising up while condensing the show at the bottom). We are being cheated out of the last minute or so of the shows because they can't wait to advertise. I know it seem trivial, but the last segments are usually funny or have good moments like Laura finally telling Steve she loves him or something.

Yea, if you're gonna have a network you should at least care about how it's run-and viacom clearly doesn't

I doubt it will help, but I contacted Viacom and told them about how it cheats us out of the last segment of the show and such and could the programming be changed to fix this.

Oh this sucks. Shrinking down credits to run their ads for bulls*** and completely overlooking the music over the end credits for movies. Irks me to no end, along with those giant ad graphics while a program is playing.

Yeah, Viacom annoys me more and more. I mean, they're notorious for either sitting on tons of shows that they don't even bother airing on any of their networks. But hey... if you like Gunsmoke and Bonanza and Spongebob and uh... whatever airs on MTV these days, you're in luck, I guess.
I'm so glad for hulu and similar sites. I barely watch TV at all anymore.

It's insulting the the people behind the scenes as well. Rocky III was just as bad the other night. The credits lingered for a second when it showed the names of those who starred in the movie, but whether or not you know who the gaffer is, he deserves his name to be seen as well.

It's especially bad when the closing credits are actually a scene and not just clips or pictures.

Considering this is a common practice on almost all networks now, I believe that in the near future studios should just insert the credits within the first segment of the show, and on the top so it doesn't get blocked out by pop-ups.

TBS on it's reruns show the end credits but it cuts the theme song. It also cuts scenes from the show. Main reason I hate tbs.
