Well I'm so glad others feel the same way about this background music/canned laughter.......sometimes when I get annoyed about something I begin to think maybe it's just me getting persnickety in my old age...but not this with this one anyway......
hmm, wonder what will bug me today!

Recently I've started to complain how loud the fan noise was on some football games on tv. My husband replied he doesn't know why "they" have to do that, and turned down the tv. Mostly I just don't watch anymore - I'll go to my sewing room!

Also, I hate that some of the channels are so dark you have a hard time seeing what's going on. This is mostly on crime shows but still, if I'm watching it I want to see it not shadows

Commercials are the worst, the mute button is our best friend. 
The background music as well as other noises are insanely over done. Even with surround sound it is hard to hear what the actors are saying. There are times when we have to rewind a scene just to understand what is being said.

As my mother lost some of her hearing, she complained of the background music, saying she couldn't hear the words. I, too, am beginning to be annoyed at the music in the background. I am having trouble hearing the difference in sounds of similar sounding letters, for instance b, v, d, t, and others.

Thank you!!!!!! I went into the menu on the tv and changed it from movie to clarity. It definitely made a difference. I hate going to the movies with DH because all you hear it the loud background music.
