TV Shows That Start With Showing You the Whole Show In the Intro (1 Viewer)

[Tango]

TV shows that show excessive previews going into commercials or, at the very start of the show, show so much that all surprises are ruined at the start and so you must fast forward through the intro and cover your eyes at the same time:

Catfish

Intervention

Top Chef

What are 3 shows I don't watch, Alex?

 

[Apple Jack]

intervention was the only reality show i've ever watched but haven't seen it in years. until last night when they had a special with the guys who shot some of the stories. can you imagine?

 

[comfortably numb]

any show.

This is why I don't do previews and avoid them like the plague.

 

[Hot Diggity Dog]

I hate shows that show the last 30 seconds of the show that was on before the commercial break. ADA much?

Hell's Kitchen.

Yep, the Hell's Kitchen bumps in and out of commercial are egregious. Their compulsion to re-hash the entire show after every commercial break more than any other show I can recall gives you the convenient option of just watching the last ten minutes coming out of the last (or second to last) commercial break.

Apparently Intervention took a season off last year, but brought it back just now. The new season started this past Sunday.

You mean ADD? Unless I'm missing something or you thought that this constituted an Americans With Disabilities Act violation.

The Voice does this a lot, as does the Bachelor "franchise." We just FFWD liberally. But it does make you wonder - particularly on The Voice where there's almost always quite clearly a lot of interesting stuff they could have shown, but don't - why they bother with the padding.

Only mentally disabled people watch these shows maybe?

Battlestar Galactica was the first show to come to mind.

How about "Mike's On" RN?

I cant decide what's more annoying at the opening....tapes of the previous day's calls or Chris Shearn.

Air Disasters on Smithsonian. They show 80% of the show at the front. I dont even like how they title each show; it's usually a giveaway as to what happens
