GSN 2 Days bug

<< < (6/6)

davemackey:
GSN has been adding some (not a lot) translucence to their logo, but it's still obnoxious, as are their now-obligatory look-at-me pop-ins promoting future shows (the old ones were very unobtrusive).

gameshowguy2000:
At least the bug is small. Yesterday as I was watching GSN, I noticed the bug in the right hand corner of the screen, and it was small.

As long as it's small, and not covering up anything important (like the right hand corner of the PYL Big Board), I'll take it.

 Do we really need to hear when Kenny vs. Spenny or Spy TV is on what seems like every 2 minutes?  Hopefully they'll tone it down once the novelty wears off.

This is during the commercial break, not the promos during the credits.[/quote]
And those one-second silent "break bumpers" are a common thing in Europe and the UK, more often at the beginning and end of commercial breaks than between spots.  The UK was the first to use them, since their commercial television was not allowed to have single sponsors and the regulatory authorities wanted commercials and programming clearly separated--which also explains the "End of Part One" and "Part Two" graphics you see on old ITV shows at the commercial breaks.  Those also allowed them to follow the letter, if not the spirit, of the regulation that commercial breaks could only occur "at natural breaks in the programme."
