I always record whatever shows I want to watch... or download them (they're always commercial free then, even though that's "illegal"). It's easy to fastforward through the commercials on recorded shows.

I get a kick out of watching the "Mac versus PC" commercials..lol.

But seriously, there seem to be more these days..
Like Susie mentioned, it sucks when a show starts and they cut to commercial right away.  wth is that about? lol.

are the mac versus pc in the US these two brilliant guys!?

in former times, TV commercials were better and more entertaining, I think, and didn't seem so much an intrusion...since TV was free, the commercials seemed a small price to pay for free TV that was generally GOOD.

now that we have to pay for the use of it, having the commercials too doesn't seem fair, now.

But, in actuallity, the number of miniutes per houre remains about the same.

                Those commercials are adorable.  If ours were like that.  I wouldnt mind watching them.  But they do seem a bit long...sheesh. they are
almost as long as half our  shows...but they are funny and sweet.

They mostly show the full versions at the cinema and have an abridged one for the telly .... still very nice and sexy  though! Sometimes I think the English commercials are better than the TV programs themselves!  (Except the Insurance Company ones ... they're just plain awful)

Susie





Do you get those Geico commercials over there, Susie? Geico is an insurance company featuring a cute little gecko; The Geico Gecko. He has a Cockney accent too! He's cute!  :D



I must admit, I do like those Geico commercials, but other than that, I'm in complete agreement with you Susie. Insurance commercials are the WORST!!

Now he does look like a cute little fella!  No David, we don't get him here in the UK, just boring old farts in suits, trying to be young and hip!  Now does he have a proper Cockney accent ... or a really bad whatshisname's accent from Mary Poppins??


Susie

Well, my English boyfriend rolls his eyes when he hears the gecko talk, so this tells me he must have a "Mary Poppins" Cockney accent. I'll ask though to make sure.

But he's a cute little guy. We love him!  :D

KELDA!!! I watched it! TWICE!!!  :D

The people down on the second street were very small, but I looked at all of them, so I'm sure I saw you!!!

You were in a Vodafone commercial!!! We don't have Vodafone here; at least not in Indiana, but I've heard of it before!

Hey everyone!! Our Kelda was in a commercial!!  :D
