DuramaxDiesel Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 It sucks, I know!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Yes it does suck! That's why I have a TiVo! I can just fast forward through them. A half hour program is actually only about 22 minutes with 8 minutes worth of commercials. An hour show will end up being about 44 minutes with 16 minutes of commercials!

Elyse Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Which is why I have a PVR (kinda like TiVo), so I can fast forward through all the commercials. Stupid commercials. But, when I was younger and PVRs weren't invented yet, I remember my Mom asking us to do stuff during the commercials. Like set the table... things like that.

Mazz Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 When I was a kid, a one hour show had three two minute commercial breaks. Now it's gotten ridiculous. PBS is my friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedJasper Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Yes, the commercials are overdone. My DVR gets a workout when I watch TV. Everything is recorded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuramaxDiesel Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Yes, the commercials are overdone. My DVR gets a workout when I watch TV. Everything is recorded. I am the same way!! We usually only watch TV on Saturday nights, when we watch all of our DVRed things. My husband works for his family owned cable and internet company, so we have 3 DVR boxes for Free....so we record everything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueWolf Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 Or programs that keep repeating stuff and footages all over again as if I'm stupid or something. If a 30min program would only show the new content I believe it would just shrink down to 10 minutes or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 I get anything I want off the interweb All the ads have been removed. I rarely watch anything on TV 1. coz of the adverts 2. I hate being tied to the TV at the time they choose to put it on usually a really inconvenient time too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
