The credit squeezes.

I don't mind them for current shows where nothing is really PRODUCED for
them, but for older shows, where they took time to do something during the
credits, let me see them (especially a look at all those wonderful products
for the departing contestants).

We know we're watching GSN, we don't want to see your original programming
OR the promos unless we're being paid to do it.
