I was recently watching a DVD of a television series, and after watching the opening credits for the umpteenth time I wounder to myself: Why do I have to sit through this same sequence of credits for ever forty minutes of show I watch?
DVD transcriptions of television shows faithfully reproduce the original broadcast – introduction and all. Why is there no option to simply turn off the credits, so we can simply carry on through the show uninterrupted? I understand that for accreditation reasons they have to have it somewhere… but surely they could simply show the opening sequences once per disc or something? As it is, after one rainy day I firmly have the ‘Stargate’ SG-1′ theme song entrenched in my mind.

I hate that too. Some of the seasons do let you skip the credits but most don’t. In fact, a list of ‘TV on DVD where you can skip the opening title’ would be a cool marketing gimmick.
