I don't like adding stuff or changing stuff in TV and movies. Just looks at how George Lucas messed up the original trilogy. It feels a bit like rewriting history. You wouldn't add an iPod to Mona Lisa so why would you change TV and movies? They have historical value as well.
Just makes me think of how they butchered the Quantum Leap series on DVD by replacing a lot of period music that created the mood for all the eras he leaped in to with cheesy elevator music. Completely ruined it and made the DVDs unwatchable.
Might work in some shows, but not in a show where the music at times was quite literally one of the background characters. Out of place current era ads in older shows would be the same damn thing. If it drew my eyes to it, it's most likely cause me to rage at the sponsor, not want to buy their product.
As far as the amount of ads these days on TV, I can't watch most shows live. I have to DVR them. Sometimes the commercial breaks are so long I'll freaking forget what the hell I was watching between them. What's the point of watching TV when that happens?
Everything is turning into a corporate dick suck. The city I live in is going to start selling naming rights to bridges! What the fuck? If they do that, those companies better be maintaining the damned things.
