weird spoilers before the episode starts


Hello,

a couple of years ago it was aired on television here. I watched lots of episodes but I did find one thing weird :

before the episode really started, they would always short segments, not from the previous episode, but from the upcoming episode. I didn't really like this as these images pretty much gave most of the episode away.

Did you see this too? This could either have been done by our local broadcasting channel, or by the producers of this show, and my bet is on the latter. If so, why?

It seemed to be rather common for a lot of shows, although I don't know if they still do it for TV shows nowadays. They did it with every episode of The Rockford Files, as I recall. It's just upcoming scenes to grab the viewer so they don't switch to another TV show.
