I only watch Doctor Who on BBC America, and don't remember seeing promos for other shows. There probably were promos, but apparently they didn't annoy me enough to remember them.

I think, however, those promos are standard across cable channels. I have been annoyed by them in other shows on other channels. It's a reminder that the commercials don't exist to pay for the shows; the shows exist to get us to sit through the commercials.

Yeah, it's kind of annoying all right.

I hate those stupid things, no matter what channel they're on. Like the actual commercials aren't enough???
