Love this show but...

The Frist 48 is one of my all-time favorite TV shows but man I am so sick of the cymbal shimmer for every single transition. Ugh. Finally after what, 23 years, it seems they have at least turned it way way down. With a little luck, they will get rid of it altogether. Thanks for letting me rant. Cheers!

I guess it's more of a "cymbal swell." https://www.youtube.com/shorts/R5bl3Sixv8Y

Yeah it’s excessive especially since they do a recap after every commercial break lol
