The other night I was trying to watch one of my favorite TV shows, "The Big Bang Theory" and once again I had to endure one of our local TV stations plastering the bottom half of my TV screen with weather warnings.
This time they felt the dire need to inform me at 9:30 pm that it was foggy outside. Foggy?? Really?? It's annoying enough that they intrude on my TV watching in order to warn me everytime it clouds up, but now they feel they have to save me from the fog as well? What's next? A great big sun logo beaming in the corner of my screen alerting me that it's going to be a hot, sunny day - better wear lots of sun screen! And of course, they will need to make sure that we notice the icon, so I suggest they make it big enough to at least cover any subtitles that might be on the screen, and it needs to be animated, with sun rays beaming across the rest of the screen. Finally, have you ever noticed that no matter how terrible the weather is outside, it is never so bad that they need to leave the weather warning up when the station goes to a commercial?
