AND ANOTHER THING....

It’s not earth-shattering or anything, but it’s one of those niggling little things that bothers me. Whenever they announce be episode of a TV series, why (if it isn’t a re-run) do they describe it as “all new”? Of course it’s all new! Either it’s a re-run, or it’s something we haven’t seen before. It’s the use of the word “all” which is redundant that I object to. No one ever heard of a show that is new up till the second commercial break, and then a re-run from then on. In the sense of TV shows that have never been broadcast before, the adjective “new” is a singular quality. It’s new or it isn’t. The word “all” serves no purpose, insults the viewer’s intelligence and I’m sorry but I want something done about it!
