Television Commercials
Ellemeno:
Thanks to TiVO, I am nearly unaware of commercials.

I have basically stopped watching TV because of commercials. And Dot is right. they are LOUD!!!!!!!
Kerry:
From an Australian perspective, there has been an increase in ads on television here lately.
I very rarely watch commercial television. I watch the ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corp), which is ad-free and SBS, which shows all the foreign programs, such as continental movies and the like. SBS has always been ad-free in the past, until just recently. They are now showing ads on SBS.
I restrict myself to only watching television for a couple of hours at night (never during the day) and never as background noise. I'm not fond of noise.
On the rare occasions when I watch commercial television (Law & Order SVU, for instance), I use the mute button on the remote control, so I can't hear the ads.

Normal network television hasn't changed much, but the Disney Channel and Cartoon Network and the like drive me absolutely mental .... the opening credits come up and then it immediately breaks for a commercial ... what's that all about???

Watch some commercials, FINALLY get to the start of the show (opening credits) and then watch some more commercials!
Yep! It's like that over here too Susie!
Lumière:
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.
