Why do they not put the name of movies & TV shows at the end too?

Question

I am sure this has happened to most of us.

You switch on the TV, channel surf a bit, see a film that looks interesting, or has a famous actor in it and you think, cool, I'll watch this. or you see that it is just starting because of the names & the music, you know. Or there is a sitcom that seems quite funny...So you watch it till the end. But you have no idea what film it is you just watched.

Sure you can get a tv guide or go onlinebut sometimes you can't, e.g. in a hotel. You are not going to walk out of the hotel, go to a shop just to buy a newspaper so you can check the tv listings. SO if you do not have a cable type remote control that brings up the name of what you are watching you might never know.

This is really annoying.

I know a few do but that is very very rare. Why do they not have the common sense to put the name of the tv-show or movie at the end of the film/show too?

Answer 1

I suppose they assume that people always watch films from the start. It's happened to me quite a few times and it is rather frustrating - especially if you you like a film so much that you want to watch it again, or go out and buy the DVD.

Answer 2

Because no one has thought of it yet. Sounds like you are the first. You should get that idea out there some kind of way.

Answer 3

Well that would be like putting the title at the end of a book...

Answer 4

They can better tell.

Answer 5

its illegal and really you shouldnt ask this.
