I agree! It's a pet hate of mine with all these programes - 24, Heroes, Lost et al, 10 minutes in and the credits are still flashing up! Really gets my goat!
This annoys me, but not as much as those channels who, with a good 5 or ten minutes before the end of a decent film, start to fill the screen with little pop up notices informing you that Coronation Street or whatnot is on in 10 minutes!!!!! Really gets my goat.
