It may be flawed logic, but bear with me for a minute- Previews and/or commercials are suppsed to be a show’s “hook”, to intice you to tune in. Therefore, one would assume that they use the best bits for the previews. So, if the previews suck, and that’s what they are putting out as the highlights of the show, well… 😉 ---
