According to a forum post by an angry viewer, TBS paused Everyone Loves Raymond right at a critical point in the final scene to promote another show by animating a graphic across the screen. “It hit a spot on the screen and the show ‘paused’ mid-joke,” writes Devanchya. “Then went back to the show for another 10 seconds so the joke could finish before going to regular commercials. Oh I am so pissed.”
Adds DWS below: “I saw this and while I found it annoying – TRULY – it did not pause before the punch line, it was just after the punch line while I was still laughing. From a technology POV, it was creative and smart. From a consumer POV – annoying as hell!”
