I do, sometimes lol. They usually air at late night or early morning, but not always.

The other day, I saw one hawking a DVD collection for the old Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour, and watched for a while. When the CD collection infomercials air, it's always interesting to see clips of the recording artists I realize I'd listened to over the years, but had never seen. And not just the "one hit wonder" recording artist/bands, either.

TV series infomercials are interesting, too, because many include the series stars as they are, today. The newest one (for me) is the Dallas infomercial, with a "cast reunion" lol of the few living regulars. Those appearances from cast members are common, as are phone calls from those who don't want to appear on camera (Victoria Principal).

But at least you get to see things like this lol: Patrick Duffy, with the long, gray, bushy ponytail he's currently sporting.

I like the music videos, so, yes. Another question is do you actually buy the DVDs? My answer is NO!!!

I watched The Sonny and Cher/Cher Show one last week. It brought back so many memories. It really bothered me seeing Chastity and knowing what would come.

I used to buy the music ones of '60s and '70s. Not any more.

I enjoy watching the Johnny Carson videos that they want you to buy.
They're so funny...Burt Reynolds, Don Rickles, Rodney Dangerfield.

The good ole days when comedy didnt involve dirty language.
