(since so much of what infulences us comes over TV, the political forum seems more appropriate)
Once upon a time, Sci Fi Channel showed Stargate on Monday night and the advertising was relentless. Every commercial showed how Monday night was the most important night of television and you just had to watch.
Well, I never did like Stargate and with bombardment like that, I was eventually hating it, hating the Sci Fi channel, and eventually just turned it off.
Does such advertising eventually get to us, voices telling us how we can't afford to miss it, that we just gotta be there, that this is most important night? Is it detrimental to what they are tying to sell?
Does it even forget the lesson of the 19th century RR business in that one is not in the railroad business but in the supply business? That is, one may be trying to sell lingerie but if one destroys the transport medium in the process, then one loses it all.
"If you say so, Mr. Bond.".........as indicated, I never watched the show......so I don't know who these people are......aside from the Major Matt Mason owner.
Stargate was pretty good. I watched it and Stargate Atlantis both. But yes the frigging commercials sucked. I timed it once. 5 minutes of show 8 of ads.
My favorite show ever was Justified. Got all 6 seasons on DVD. No commercials. Walton Goggins as Boyd Crowder stole the show from Olyphant but he was good to.
Whoever did the writing for that show deserves an award.
