Network TV and commercials

Commercials, I hate them. Some channels have some that are more annoying than others. I am watching the history channel and each break is 5 minutes long and they run 9 seperate commercials, you totally lose interest in what you were watching. Its ridiculous, so I fight back.

I have AT&T uverse, so I have boo coo channels, plus HBO, SHOWTIME, STARZ, so when a commercial hits, I move and surf, I refuse to watch them. I never watch network TV, never. I usually just watch movies, which have no interruptions. I only spend about an hour a night on TV, try and catch sometime to watch when I go to bed, and hope is boring to put me to sleep fast.

On my take em out and hang em high list, commercials would be right up there.

I have and use a DVR. I have not watched commercials for a couple of years (except the super bowl). I get to watche the programs I like on my schedule, not theirs.
