Open Letter to Comedy Central

Dear Comedy Central,
I’m glad you decided to air Futurama. Good choice. I’m also glad that you decided to get on with the show by putting the credits for the last show on in small letters while the next show starts.
But it seems like the people in charge of those credits you put on the bottom of the screen don’t actually WATCH Futurama. Putting the credits on the bottom left of the screen so that they cover up the opening gag is just sub-par.
Anyone that’s a fan of Futurama KNOWS the opening “disclaimer” is something we all watch for.
Running the credits small & fast like that says to me, your audience, “Thanks for watching this same show over and over. We know you’re a fan and that you want to get on with it.”
But putting them on top of the opening gag says, “We don’t really understand this show or its fans.”
Yes, I’ve seen the opening gags before. But guess what… I’ve seen ALL the Futurama shows before. Many times. The opening tagline is PART OF THE SHOW and should not be covered up.
Can’t you put the credits ~and other crap~ on TOP for Futurama?
Sincerely,
A Concerned Idiot

I just wish there would be Dave Chappelle. And also, quit showing the Friday version of the daily show on mondays because I think I saw it already…duh.

I like the Peg Bundy character better on Married With Children but I’m not into sci-fi. Give me Family Guy instead.
