I know that I'm not the only person who gets bugged by this, but maybe I am. It annoys me when every commercial promoting new tv episodes announces that it's an "event." Since when is every show an event? For pete's sake.
or how about when it is toted as being the "most outrageous episode ever"
"You'll never believe what happens next....."
Putting down the remote!!!! After Lost, Hell's Kitchen, Celebrity Apprentice, NHL Playoffs (go Vancouver! go Washington!), and all things cake related!!1 
My daughter pointed this one out. Every commercial for the next Oprah show is "going to change your life!" or it's "a life-changing event!" My, my, how DID we all live so well before she came along?
Can't stomach HER (Oprah, not your daughter 
)
costumeczar..............YES!!! I thought I was the only one bugged by that (or the only one to notice it) I even noticed that the local news reporters are calling everything an *event* i.e. snowstorms, ughhhh so overused!!
Can't stomach HER (Oprah, not your daughter
)
I cannot stomach Oprah either. And that's putting it very mildly.
I am glad to have met someone else who cannot take her. So many people think she's some kind of gift from God. 
I totally agree with the "event" peeve. My other new peeve is that every store that is having a sale, it's now a "stimulus" sale because of the economy. Are you giving it to me for free? No? Then you're not really stiumulating my checking account, now are ya???
And I am SO over Oprah, too!
I'm tired of the endless teases.
We are going to tell you if this miracle product works or not. Betty here has a broken surgical instrument and she cannot conduct brain surgery without it. We don't know if this glue will hold but since this person who needs the operation will die otherwise and the orphanage will flood if they don't keep thier finger on the dike...blablablabla
so tune it at ten to find out.
So you tune in at ten...
So look at Betty cut, see the instrument strain, the water is rising, tune it tomorrow for the results...
Or the "this just in" and "breaking news now!!!!".......etc.etc.
I'm so with all of you on these! The other one that bugs me is the "shocking" eliminations. Really? Are they all THAT shocking? I mean somebody's gotta go home!
or...."it may kill you and it's probably in your house!!" find out at 11.... WTH!!!
"Find out at 11 unless it already gotcha."
My latest pet peeve is that Soapnet is advertising Being Eric as their NEW ORIGINAL series.....hello it has been airing in Canada for quite some time. It may very well be soapnets new series but is it's their original series.
Or "theme" music on CNN to go with whatever story.
I never watch the big "O". Too preachy for me. And I kinda lost respect for Dr. Phil. He is just as bad as Maury Povich. 
I DO like those 20/20 shows where its "What Would You Do?" scenario? But one of these days, some one is going to get hurt, cause they are going to tick off the wrong person and they are going to go off on someone!

Our local news has started doing this...They have theses pathetic little themes that they've written for big national stories, and they play about 5 seconds of it, then cut it off abruptly. Very strange...I assume they think it makes them seem more professional, but it just reeks of local.
