So did the original Mission Impossible TV series. I would hardly call those spoilers though.

Hmmm... The viewers that have an issue with those segments in fear of being spoiled for a show they about to watch within the next couple seconds.

Doesn't that sound a bit too much even as a television geek to most of you?

It's just irritating. Granted, this usually only happens on shows where knowing what's coming doesn't matter that much, but if I'm watching, I do personally like to experience things fresh. But then I'm the type of person who avoids trailers and such.

Re: I Wish TV would Ban 'Coming up' !

I got in to Sons of Anarchy a few weeks ago and started from episode one until the season that just ended and the "Previously on..." thing was just annoying to me. But that's the only show I watch that does that.
