Venting. (pressed a key before finishing the title :P )

I've been noticing lately (not hard to miss) those pop up animated ads
on the left side corner of the screen while one of my shows I'm trying to
watch. Not to mention, already seeing the actual commercials during the
tv. shows break.

There's also little hints on the cornered screen saying something to the
effect: Burn Notice tonight at 10:00pm. What? Burn Notice has now been
on for a few years. It's on their 3rd season. I watch it. Is it not getting
enough ratings, like other shows, to keep doing this?

Does anyone know of places were I can write this as a complaint?
It's a huge distraction. I always write down on the calendar of
the times and dates along with my other lifes appointments.

I seriously hope that Criminal Minds will not allow other tv. shows to do
this on theirs while it's airing.

HUGS

For a second I didn't have a clue what you were talking about. You mean the ads for the other network shows, yes? Well, I actually don't mind them most of the time, particularly when the show in question is Flashpoint, which you should all watch, btw. (see, I'm doing it too!) Those ads are just another way the networks can promote their programs and I highly doubt it's something they'll discontinue anytime soon.

It only lasts for a couple seconds, and they don't take up the whole screen. So maybe just try not to look at them? I know it's hard, but, that's all I can suggest....
