10 Things Television Fans Found Too Distracting

10. Blatant Product Placement

Whether anyone likes it or not, television shows exist largely due to the support they receive from advertisers. Every few scenes, you can run to the bathroom or grab a snack because there will be a commercial break — it's how shows get their money, and it's something every viewer understands.

Then there's the advertising that's going on in any given scene without anyone ever knowing about it. That shirt the main character is wearing, the coffee table they're all sitting around, or even the car they're driving were all selected solely to sell viewers products, and most of the time, they go by unnoticed.

That's all well and good, but every so often, a series will opt to be less subtle about their product placements, and throw them in viewer's faces. When this happens, it's not only obvious; it's distracting and, in many cases, rather silly.

A lot of shows do this from time to time, but one of the worst perpetrators in recent history was Fox's crime series Bones. Every once in a while, the two main characters would hop into their brand new Toyota and blatantly discuss all of the car's amazing features. It was weird, it was out of place in the show's narrative, and it was incredibly distracting.
