Commercials -, Getting fed up with them here Options

[Neela]

Maybe this should be under the what you hate most thread, but maybe others would like to vent separately on this as well.. I have never watched much television.. most tv shows arent worth the time. Recently I have started to watch it a bit more since some really good sci-fi shows have premiered. Have television commercials increased so much while I was away? Back in the 80's (when I actually watched tv) an hour television show was 45-50 minutes with 10-15 minutes of commercials. Now I can barely stand to watch a really good show because its only 30-35 minutes long with 25-30 minutes of commercials. I was watching that show Supernatural the other night and at the bottom of the hour they had a 5 minute commercial break followed by 4 minutes of show before breaking for another 5 minute commercial. OMG!! Its getting ridiculous. How can they tell if a show is good or not, because quite frankly even if I really like the show I will wait for it to come out on DVD now because there are just too many interruptions when it is shown originally. And another thing... Did anyone else see last nights Threshold? Throughout the show the main sponsor was the Chevy Impala. Did anyone else see the impala symbol plastered on the tile inside the restaurant DURING the show? This is nuts! I think I will go back to buying the DVD shows that are interesting or maybe get TIVO. I don't have the time to sit and watch 30 mins of worthless commercials each hour.

Ok... Rant off...

I hate on FX the Comercials are like twice the volume of the feature.

dont watch TV anymore....odd.

actually the other night i watched the television priemere of LOTR The Two Towers, it wasnt really the commercials that bothered me, rather the stupid banner that kept popping up at the bottom of the screen...

I despise commercials, especially as these days they have nothing to do with the product they're trying to sell. I frequently see a Nike one where up until the last second or two all the people are barefoot!

I don't really watch a whole lot of TV. But yes, the commercials are terrible. Although, I kinda miss the old ones, as in from the early 90's.

Hehe I remember one I thought was pretty funny, the Chef Boyardee (sp?) beef ravioli (again, sp?) commercial with the jungle marines with a cargo of the stuff being chased by a high schooler.

Good times, but now they really suck. ESPECIALLY that kids bob crap. Do people actually buy that stuff?

I cant stand the commercials on Spike TV. It seems for every hour of tv there is 20 minutes of the movie and 40 minutes of commercials. I started wathcing a movie at about 8 and gave up at about 1 am in the morning.

I try not to watch alot of TV. I mostly just stay within the confines of my room and read.
