Thanks for the comment, FR. There are plenty of cable TV channels that seem to have changed for the worse. SiFy is running wrestling, and Discovery seems to be running Cash Cab all day long. There was a Time when The Learning Channel (TLC) actually had reality TV you could learn from, instead of what they show now. I used to watch AMC all the time. These days, TMC has my loyalty. They’ve got a wider ranging selection of movies, they add value with their before and after commentary, and they never, ever interrupt a classic with a commercial.

Excellent post, Jeff. I agree with you that those “little” whatevers are intrusive and irritating, especially when joining the ubiquitous channel logos that are already on the screen. And…AMC has changed over the years, and not necessarily for the better.
