Any comments about the new show this Fall featuring the cop who is released from prison, receives a huge payout and is back as a detective?

Please, please, please say something about those annoying, distracting and just plain cheesy station identification logos and commercials that play during shows in the lower corner of the screen. Premium channels seem to be doing this too. Don't we get enough advertising during breaks. What can we do about this new trend???
Thank you
Kathy

Sorry the post above is mine and it's in the wrong place. I reposted in the previous segment.

Anyway to answer Mr. Pesca's question: in the 1950s and early 60s we kids did speak of the Fall TV Season, it was what we looked forward to in opposition to the end of the Summer and going back to school which is what we didn't look forward to. We got really excited about shows we liked coming back and the new shows that looked like they were going to be "cool" or in the 50s "neat". Now at that crabby old age of 61 I look forward only to the Daily Show and South Park. There's not much more that's worth watching.

John from Cincinnati was the best show on television since Twin Peaks and Northern Exposure, and it was cancelled.

Future cult classic.

Shows about rich people-- the Bush and the Reagan years resemble one another in yet another fashion with variations on the cultural diarrhea that was "Dallas" and "Dynasty".
