Boards Archive] |
Welcome to the Vault Network
forum archive.
This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the
opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards
deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least
20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per
page).
Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50
topics per page, while others deemed of historical
signifigance may be archived in their entirety.
We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but
we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in
lieu of that.
Please enjoy the archive.

wtf.. does this annoy you?
I can understand showing highlights of the previous show so you can remember what happened or catch up.. but showing snippets of what is coming up after the commercial, every commercial makes me want to club a seal.

New trend? Ummm that is actually a sort of retro thing. A lot of classic shows used to do that, going back to the black and white era. It was extremely popular in the 1970's scifi shows (the Original BSG, Six Million Dollar Man, Bionic Woman, any of the Irwin Allen shows, plus the Gerry Anderson brit shows, etc) Some modern shows such as Battlestar Galactica revived it as part of a "cool retro" vibe, and like typical Hollywood lemmings, every other TV production followed suit.

What shows do this? Do you have to watch them on actual TV to see this?

That kind of thing bugged the hell out of me when I watched Face Off on Syfy...at every commercial break, they would show a spoiler of what was coming up, then after the commercial, they'd recap what had happened right before the commercial, as if you'd already forgotten after 2 minutes.

it's called filler, the show may not have had enough advertising to fill the breaks or the show itself was not long enough to fill the requirements for the time slot
