"Sweeps week"

Sweeps lasts for a whole MONTH!!!!

(There may have been a time when sweeps period lasted for only a week; if so, that was before my time)

God I was subjected to that about 10 times at the Shrine game yesterday since they were a sponsor, made me quite :grunt:

:thumbsup:

Every time I hear the word "hemi" I feel like throwing up. Is that the only thing they can use to sell vehicles? Yes, it has a HEMI, ok? For chrissakes does it really matter? Gawd...that bastard brainwashing his kid, having him buy into the whole deal... ok now I'm starting to feel irrational about it... :D

it's because fox is dumb and schedules stuff to start at 7 when the 4pm game doesn't even start playing until 4:15 now
I remember when I was a kid and the game actually started at 4 and had less commercial timeouts so the game was actually finished in 3 hours
I also find "ripped from the headlines" and "a/an _________ you won't want to miss" the second is usually with ER
come to think of it, most of NBC's tag lines for shows suck

Tonight's Frasier will not be seen tonight so we can bring you a special spotlight on Billy Graham.

How could you forget after you posted this.

*That's* what I'm talkin' about!

"A powerful episode of ER" has become this year's "a very special episode of Blossom".

due to some violent content viewer discression is advised.

"Two Words... TWINS"
God, I'm so glad they finally aired that episode of Fear Factor. It drove me up the wall everytime I saw that add.


Also, even though I'm enjoying the show otherwise, Line of Fire's "That's that with that." is pretty darn annoying.

:lol:, but I had to fix one :).

I really hate the piece of shit fluff local news story they have on before Letterman. It's always something totally lame and stupid.

"I just saved a shitload of money by switching to Geico."

"The censors won't allow us to show you HOW FAR this movie goes! Order now and get the Underground Comedy Bonus Video at no additional cost."

"Go Cedric. Go Cedric. It's your birthday."

"We're here live from the red carpet ..."

"WARNING! This video contains adult material not suitable for children. Are you tired of bitches flashing their titties? We didn't think so!"

not sure I have a current top of the list for this season but I KNOW last season it was "Welcome to the WB's new tuesday night" or whatever day it was.. bugged me being, as I'm sure many of you also remember, they named the night "new"...

sooooooooooooooo rerun of a rerun of a rerun of a month go was still ""Tonight on the Wb's NEW Tuesday night".. arrrgg!! No it's not new ya bastards, in the same ep I saw two months ago...

Hum.. this season.. errrrr I'm going to go with all the ads for the last of, the special, one of only six new blah blah and so on ep of Friends.. Sigh I stopped watching that show years ago so for me it's like "Just end it already"

BILLY MAYS HERE...!!!

I'm just waiting for the day of "BILLY MAYS HERE FOR MIRACLE EAR!"

"Perhaps we shouldn't air the same damn ad 50 times a day."
"Brilliant!"
"BRILLIANT!!!"

My most hated often-heard TV line is the ubiquitous DirecTV "moving" commercial with that bitchy wife who says "Remember to lift with your knees, dear." God, I hate that woman. Especially how she grabs the remote and points it at the TV as she clicks it.

I love my DirecTV but I wish they'd stop that ad. I just want to slap that lady and the sarcastic way she says "dear." See you next Tuesday.

As far as TV announcements are concerned, I hate how the ABC announcer always says "On an all new THE Practice..." That just sounds wrong. I realize it is called The Practice but that "THE" just does not sound right there. Maybe if they said "On an all new episode of The Practice."

more shit with the practice i can't stand "if you can't be shocked by a television drama, then wait till tonight!" (that was last nights promo)

Commercials? Promos? :hscratch:

Thank you Tivo!!

<b>"Dateline will continue after this brief message."</b>

ABC's news magazines used to have a similar announcement, but no more. I'm not complaining about NBC's use of the word "brief" (that's a whole 'nother beef). It's their referring to the break in the singular: "message". If it were one 2-minute spot for Liberty Medical, then it would be legitimate. But, there are several different commercials and promotional announcements.

UPDATE, September 2004: I don't know when the changeover occurred, but I was watching Dateline and they went to commercial with the phrase, "Dateline will continue <b>in a moment.</b>"

"Blossom".... *furrows his brow* Why does that sound so... familiar? Do i even want to know?

Actually, I perk up a bit when I see/hear that line. Usually means we are in for some grossness :D
