Imagine how irritated I get, being formerly employed to produce it.
Sometimes I feel like if I ever lose my hearing enough, I'll just give up
on TV rather than having to watch with captioning.

I'm pretty sure you and Jon know the rest of this, but I'll mention it for
the benefit of any lurkers/Google searchers/etc.:

People who are watching the captions but can also still hear the
dialogue/sound effects are obviously in an excellent position to make
complaints about bad closed captioning.  The best place to complain about
it is to the network/station that's putting it on the air.  The
second-best place to complain about it is to the company that produced it,
if you can figure it out.  (Why the network first?  Because they're the
ones setting the standards, and the ones paying for it; it is definitely
within their power to improve their captioning.)  The third-best place to
complain about it is to the FCC.  The fourth-best place to complain about
it is to your Congressional representatives.
