Must say, it annoys the hell out of me too! You don't need to shake a camera around in oroder to convey excitement, ducumentary style, ad- hoc or whatever other descriptions take your fancy. I find it annoying at best and generally unnecessary. Any films done in this style will date so quickly. Like "real life" shows, I think it has outlived its usefulness and it is time for the guys to move on to something better.
In real life, you would be locked up if you spun your head around from person to person, grabbing a bit here and there.
Save up your pennies guys and buy a TRIPOD!
