Commercials. These do nothing to enhance television programs. I don't even watch tv any more because of the bombardment of commercials.

Good morning Alice. I'm with you on this one. I use my DVR and watch wat becomes a delayed broadcast so I can skip the commercials. I also use Fancast | Watch Full TV Shows and Movies Free Online (http://www.fancast.com/ - broken link)

Some of these commericals are so retarded. I mean really retarded, stupid and dumb.
I won't buy whatever it is they are selling just because of these stupid and dumb commericals.

I also am sick of them. Heck we pay a cable company big bucks...so why can't commercials be a thing of the past? I'm buying DVD's these days for the shows I watch over and over...No commercial interruptions there.

Yes too many commericals, I don't need to visit the bathroom that many times during a TV show. Kohls already has spots for after Christmas day sales.

Billy Mays is starting to get on my nerves. Screaming about a new (reinvented) product each week. The "Mighty Putty" does work.
