I’ve mentioned before how insulting it is for the TV stations to deface TV programmes – either with annoying popups or watermarks. I had thought they’d gone as far as they possibly could with this lack of respect, until I noticed the end credits of Channel TEN’s police drama “Rush”.

Read the credits carefully. Well, what they are passing off as credits. Who created the show? Who stars in the show?

Yes, you need to go to the website to find the credits. Now having the credits online is great – and TEN to their credit have them all online as easy to read PDFs, though I had to do a search on the site for “Rush credits” to find them. But are TEN going to maintain the PDFs forever?

I applaud TEN for putting the credits online. But why take them off the show itself? So you can fit in an extra minute of advertising?

Are other shows starting to do this? Is this happening overseas as well?
