What we have here is exactly why I don’t watch TV any more. And you know what? Life is better now!

Enough with the commercials already!

TV — people trying to push worthless stuff; interspersed with worthless stuff.

This is why Netflix exists

They always show us these things. This is rated R; this is mix and match; this is only on Nintendo switch! We get it already! You have stuff to show us!

I find using the mute button on the remote and closing your eyes for a period of time solves the problem. It also is very relaxing.

I record anything I wan’t to see, fast forward is your friend…

It’s an Ad, Ad, Ad world!

I can usually endure commercials, but when they repeat the same commercial in the same 3-minute block, I . . . I . . . I don’t like it!!!

And that sad thing is tht there’s nothing good on the other channels that you can watch during the commericals…

Watching the NFL

Welcome to the super bowl pre-coverage coverage commercial marathon! Which one is your favorite!!??

We now get about five minutes of commercials, and only 20 minutes of a half hour television show. And only 40 minutes of a one hour show

… and this is why I LOVE the “Fast-forward 30 seconds” button on my remote!!!

Most of the time I mute my TV during commercials, lol!

No TV for me, I have no patience for canned laughter and commercial breaks.

I dropped cable years ago and do not regret it at all. It’s a waste.

He HAS to be watching the NFL on Fox.

That’s why I watch YouTube on the YouTube app.

Glad to have the Genie with my DTV service in that we record a lot of stuff that we’ll watch the next day. Of course one can’t record EVERYTHING, but it’s great to zip thru all those stupid commercials and be able to enjoy said recorded programs !

I hate it when they put commercials into infomercials….

Reminds me of Jack Lemmon waiting to watch “Grand Hotel” in ‘The Apartment’

Todays commercials take up more space than the actual show. Get Blu Ray and other CD’s to watch. It is a little work, but no commercials. Besides most commercials are about things one does not need anyway.

I wonder if companies / businesses even know that we do NOT want to see all their ads like they are being shown today? Do they not know how irritating they are and how many there are? I suppose they wouldn’t show them so much if people didn’t buy their product… but apparently people keep right on buying from them. And now, have you heard that they are considering lighting up ads in the skies at night? Unbelievable but not surprising. Somebody has to buy their product so their CEO can have his millions!

I missed the end of a Gunsmoke the other day because my patience with the endless commercials ran out. Pity too, as I will wonder how Chester resolved the situation.

The super bowl!

#this happens every time.

I moved to streaming services specifically due to ads, especially campaign ads and PACs. However, I will not recommend Pluto. They seem to air more ads from PACs than I find on cable. The problem is they have acquired the rights to a number of older TV shows (especially from the 1990s), and thus you won’t find the shows elsewhere.

Ads used to be quite funny, or did a great job selling the product. Now, I think they do neither. Even Super Bowl ads aren’t what they used to be.

it’s like the double unskipable ad that last forever after the double unskipable ad that last forever.
