Re: [Rant] TBS Has GONE to far.
said by alamarco  :If that's the case maybe I'd watch some Peachtree TV, but it sounded like they were going more towards the baseball/local content route which kind of scares me  Turner hasn't released many details here other than it will include a vast selection of programming from the Time Warner library. It will also include Warner movies and Braves games broadcasted in HD. It will not have local news and only the minimal local programming required by the FCC. |

Re: [Rant] TBS Has GONE too far.
I have a short attention span, so when these cable gerbils go to the 6 minute commercial run with 4 minutes of show, I either go do something else or put them in the the PIP box and watch news or weather until they come back.
I don't use a Tivo, so haven't seen any of the jokus interruptus stuff yet, but when those annoying crawlers get to me I go do something else or watch other stuff. With dozens of channels on, there's always something. If not, I have other things to do.
Those with time might jot down any sponsors who use the popups and write them to say they won't use or recommend the product as long as they continue to irritate. Ultimately when fewer people watch TBS, soemthing will change.

TBS has (in the past) produced some good movies, like those Sam Elliott / Tom Seleck westerns. |

Notre-Dame-De-L'Ile-Perrot, QC | Ain't I just glad to have a PVR....8 minutes commercial goes by pretty fast!
I DO hate the fact they pause the show, especially during Everybody loves Raymond, and during punchlines.....come on give us a break! |

Yup.
I don't understand the need to actually "FREEZE" the episodes of Raymond when there is only 8 seconds left of airtime anyways! Keep the show running and display the advertisements during the credits.

Has anyone heard if it is going to be the National TBS feed or Peachtree TV that comes to Canada? |
