The three most hated words

[Elenopa]

Does anyone agree with me that the three most hated words in TV are

TO BE CONTINUED.

It always happens. I'm five minutes from the end of an episode and the story is no where near finishing (unless it's ST), so I know it's a two parter. Even so, I always scream when the cliffhanger comes and those words appear.

It happened today with Stargate, and to make it worse, the C4 announcer told us that we have to wait TWO weeks for the conclusion.

Cheer up, there's worse!

PRE-EMPTED

WE NOW JOIN OUR PROGRAM IN PROGRESS

 

[ElScorcho]

How about

BRRRAAAAAP! BRRRAAAAAP! BRRRAAAAP!
THIS IS ONLY A TEST...

ANOTHER STAR TREK

Oh, I suppose that's really most feared, not most hated

 

[Joseph DeMartino]

For parents of small children the three most hated words are "some assembly required"

First ones that came to mind:

Turner Network Television



Second:

Suits/Network Executives

I feel for you Elenopa but I can't quite reach you. So big deal, you have to wait two WHOLE weeks for the second part of your show. How long do we 'scapers have to wait for the second part of "Bad Timing?"

 

[AntonyF]

I'm going to stretch to four words, and say "Making it more accessible."

 

[haze]

I always thought the worst three were the following (when said by gf or bf:

Let's Be Friends

It's not too bad when you feel the same way, but it still sucks to hear it.

 

[RW7427]

I would say the 3 most hated words are:

Sci Fi Channel

 

[Honey]

Sci Fi Channel...gosh, that seems like such a great idea. Maybe someday someone will create one

Yes, that would be a fine idea.

Maybe someday.

TO BE CONTINUED.

Second only to the FIVE most hated words in TV:

To Be Continued NEXT SEASON

Waiting months to see a new episode, or resolution to a current cliffhanger are the WORST.

Yep, that one is a bummer.

What does really get me though is the good old BBC always shafting my shows whenever there is a sporting event on. I don't think we've had two consecutive weeks of Buffy for a couple of months now.

Tell me the last time Eastenders got postponed?

 

[AntonyF]

But Easter is the #1/#2 programme in the UK. Buffy most certainly isn't. But I do agree.

But then look on the bright side. No adverts, channel logos or other shit. I actually quite like the BBC compared to Sky and stuff.

 

[Elenopa]

OK, so Auntie Beeb isn't so bad, I'm just an avid soap hater. They do show uncut Buffy late at night, not that they cut out as much as C4 does at times.
