Have you heard about "Lost" fans' outrage over the V logo fiasco? In the grand scheme of things, it's really not that big a deal, but still sort of frustrating when trying to get an organic tv experience!:)

I guess it's the stubborn streak in me, but immediately after "Lost" was over, I turned off the tv and decided not to watch "V" like I had originally planned. I'm so tired of watching shows with dancing characters, wide banners and so on and so forth along the bottom of the screen or at the corner of it. No wonder it's becoming more common for people to wait for their favorite tv shows to come out on dvd. The advertising-hungry powers that be have obviously decided to pump it up since so many of us fast forward through the commercials...

Network executives should not be surprised to discover viewers are growing tired and disgusted with these intrusive symbols. Ratings for all shows will continue to plunge if this newest way of promoting shows and products continues!!
