I feel like the information in the article is incredibly useful, but like you, I found the gifs distracting to the point of absurdity. I've never seen this show, but is it good enough such that you would have it strewn all over your good information? The font choice and color definitely didn't help. I guess it is the whole signal to noise question in action.
