MUST we have those dumb little logos of nearly every station and network in the lower right hand corner of our TV screens? Almost every cable network from American Movie Classics to Spike TV seems to need those superfluous things when airing their programs! Enough's enough! We don't need those dumb logos there; we KNOW which networks we're watching!

No, the worst is when they shove the credits into a tiny box and you can't read it at all and www.imdb.com doesn't help if you're looking for a guest star! And I REALLY hate when they do that to the credits when there's something like bloopers or something special going on in the credits. (Like an episode of 'Babylon 5" where Marcus is singing, or the last episode of that series, etc.)

Just for info - it's top right hand OR left hand in the UK- but it's just as annoying,

I hate when they advertise something in that area. Like "Blah blah blah -- coming in two weeks!" Who cares?? You're gonna show 84,000 promos anyway! GRRR!!

Like in the UK in the Netherlands they're in the top right hand or left hand corner, since for a lot of shows the subtitles claim the entire bottom of the screen. The thing that makes the logos annoying is that in American shows all too often the name and occupation of people being interviewed is displayed in one of the top corners. Which makes perfectly good sense, since their logos are at the bottom, but makes it impossible for me to read!
