Theme songs on Television Series DVDs

[StatmanCrothers]

On a well designed DVD, the ending of the theme song is always the end of a chapter.

so if each episode opens with the theme song, you can can hit ">" and you don't have to hear it again. Even if its a good theme song, come on, it hasn't been a week its only been 20 minutes since you heard it.

if there is an opening scene you can watch that, then when the theme song kicks in... ">"

what i fricking hate is when you have to watch or fast forward the theme song because there is no chapter break after it. why?

not that its THAT much trouble to fast forward but in contrast to
">"
you have

">>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>" oops "<<<<<" ahhh crap ">>>>>" close enough.

just annoying because it would be so easy to design it correctly. what else is a more logical place for a chapter break?

also, when you are watching the DVD, there should be a control to hit that essentially says "stop at the end of this chapter"

if you want to pick up and watch again later, thats what you want. but how do you know where a new chapter ends/begins? you don't for sure. usually its at a spot where there would be a commercial break but if you are enmeshed in the show sometimes you don't notice, or there are additional scene breaks that don't happen to be chapter endings.

so i say to you, oh wise DVD chapter marker people, ALWAYS put a chapter after the theme song/opening. and i say to you, oh wise DVD remote control maker people, why not a button to stop at the end of the current chapter? what say you, the public? am i ranting to the choir or am i preaching to a congregation just happy they don't have to get up to adjust the rabbit ears?
