GSN 2 Days bug

The actual bug's probably going to be less obtrusive. I bet it's going to be like the "bug" in the Get Schooled Tour promo. Need further confirmation? That's how it was in some Fake-a-Date footage I saw a while back on TV Guide Channel.

Along the same lines, one thing about this "new" channel - the way they run the promos doesn't seem like it's going to change. I must have seen the "Blackjack" promo 10 times in 2 hours on Sunday. Some things never change...

Evan Marriott was on ESPN2's "Cold Pizza" last week, and they ran the clip from "F-A-D" with the more translucent logo bug in the corner, not covered up by either the "CP" clock or the "CP" Bottom Line Lite.
Meanwhile, semi-OT, but--Why is Kit Hoover unannoying as a "Dream Job" judge but annoying as a "CP" host? Because she's yet to say "Mama's [whatever]" yet on "DJ?" (And that Southern accent that comes and goes at will, as pointed out by salon.com's King Kaufman, has yet to pop up on "DJ.")

Oh, oh, my worst fears come true. The burn-in logo is here to stay. The obstruction. The black box. The cathode ray tube destroyer. It's the GSN bug, where we block the action, over and over again.

Oh no! Life as we know it has been altered forever because GSN has a new bug! Run for your lives!
Get a grip. It's a damn bug, one that I don't think is that much of a nuisance. Gosh knows so much happens in that 1.5"x1.5" square (on my 19" TV) in the upper right hand corner. If it's not transparent for shows where the upper right hand corner is important like Press Your Luck, yes, they screwed up but it's not life-altering or a reason for concern.
If GSN kept the green rectangle below the bug (a la what was used this weekend)...I wouldn't want to be near that temper tantrum.
Those people with GSN should be glad to have it, as a good percentage of people on this board likely don't have it.
