What a mouthful.. and a waste of viewers’ time. Save the promos for commercial breaks.

[quote name='Ramona']@hmaxhanson there's been a big uptick in fake signoff tapes lately...[/QUOTE] I've seen it too.

I usually don't post these things, but the other day I was watching this episode of the four-part TV series Video Fantasies, produced by Channel 4 in the UK in 1992. This one introduces a pretty young Kate Beckinsale as a teenager living in a complicated world, dominated by chaos, technology, pollution and consumerism. Some of the interesting things about the show are the computer-generated effects and the sound bumpers heard throughout the program, reminding me of those used by Channel 4 itself and some ITV franchises (the first one appears at 0:51) I was surprised to see a huge VTR machine, while the girl is destroying some nonsense tapes!

The people who say they'll never watch again are often the ones who call or write back a week later to complain again. They're either idle threats or they hate watch.
