In Apple TV 1.0, if a description for a piece of content was longer than the about 8 lines of text the UI would display, you couldn't read the full thing.

Pressing the button again cycles to the full credit list, and a third time brings you back to the default combo view. Too bad they didn't add a shortcut like this in the 1.0 style lists. Now if only you could actually read reviews from the detail page...
