There is a recent trend I’ve noticed in TV programs. It’s the practice of recapping the show that’s currently in progress after virtually every commercial break. I first noticed this in shows on the Discovery Channel when they doing "Top Ten Countdown" where they would take the time to recap what the previous entries were. It then spread to shows like Forensic Files. Last night, this odious
practice shifted to a drama show, namely Tru Calling.

Do television writers think our attention span is so limited that we
need to be reminded what were watching after every commercial break? C’mon, we’re already watching you show. Don’t insult us by beating us with
repeating the details of your show in progress every fifteen minutes.

This concludes my daily peeve.
