I notice while watching the waltons on insp at 3pm today when they started going off at the end i notice INSP started doing like TVland does with the end credits showing them at the bottom while the last part of the show is playing.
and Hallmark channel do a spilt screen do their promos at top while credits playing in bottom screen.

Lots of channels do that now and I hate it. Most of the time you can't read the credits, which I think is awful.

The Hallmark Channel is horrible. They are always pushing another lame movie. I hate their sappy movies. (The Waltons and LHOTP are well-done, but that's it for the Hallmark Channel. The rest is over-sentimental slop.) Hey, don't forget the Golden Girls!!! And any movie with Lacey Chabert! On topic...I am not a fan of the fast, small, otherwise hidden credits, either.

Lacey Chabert was the youngest daughter on the tv show Party Of Five and lately has been doing quite a few Hallmark and Lifetime movies. She is also (in my ever so humble opinion) a very lovely young woman.

Most shows/movies aired on tv show credits that are impossible to read, and it's been going on for years.... It's a contractual thing that the credits must be rolled, but you'd think contracts would insist on them being readable !! ... That's one thing I like about TCM -- you can usually read the credits, especially on older movies....

I think they are doing credits like that now in order to show more promos of upcoming things and/or to show more ads while those credits are being shown (if you want to call it credits). I remember when I was a child and listened to the radio station. Nearly every time the DJ would tell you either at the beginning of the song or afterwards, who the artist was and the name of the song. Now it's rare to hear who the artist is or the name of the song. So many times in the past few years I have liked a song, and it usually takes a internet search to figure out the artist and name of the song. They need to have that time now to sell more advertisement.

I agree, it's to make more time for commercials and promo's for other shows. And showing ads for other shows at the bottom of the screen is so annoying. Even some shows in their first run, will just throw the title up and then the credits are not run until after the episode starts.

If I had a choice of before the song or after the song, I don't know what I'd pick !! ... if you hear the song and want to know who's singing, of course they already announced it.... but sometimes you hear a vocalist mentioned at the end of a song and wish you had actually listened to it !! ... somehow, it never works for me
