I know that i'm not the only one here that has noticed this, so here goes.

Why do we need 3 commercials between games with definitions of words such as Buzzspeak, and Bleed?

Why not put all 3 definitions on 1 commercial, plenty of room on the screen or that, and then give us a little more time to READ THE RESULTS after the game? Whether a new or old player, we all would like enough time to browse the scoreboards, Lunchtime is the worst, because it only shows scores once.

Over the years, I've also questioned Buzztime prioritizing self-advertising with giving players the main reward for playing any game: seeing the results. At least for a time it was not unusual to have the Playback results show up briefly for only moments, while an ad encouraging everyone to "play Playback on Saturdays" would take up time. Especially on the non-premium/specialty games such as Countdown, Lunchtime Trivia, and Late Shift, although a player can determine his/her ranking by looking it up on his/her player stats, the only time to see how other players did on these games is through the post-game rankings. Clearly it is more important to give players an adequate time to view those rankings by repeating them than it is to push BT-related terminology or even BT games (especially when, as in the example I gave, it's the same game the person is already playing).

Well, there does have to be a series of adds of some kind while waiting on the scores to all come into Carlsbad and then get sent out to the bars. There used to be more beer ads or liquor ads in the past, now BT just fills the space with whatever they have while compiling the rankings. There has to be something there.

But, I'd say there would be time to slow down the rankings screen so they are seen longer, deleting an unnecessary ad screen seen after the rankings. Lunchtime and Lateshift do need 2 turns of the rankings.

I agree that would be a good thing.
