Does anyone else besides me get annoyed when a commercial comes on your favorite show?  And when you change the channel to watch something else, a commerical is playing as well?  It's like the networks all got together and decided to show commercials at roughly the same time as every other network. cussing  So, you sit with the remote control in your hands and flip through the channels, only to see commercials playing at the same time.  Sort of defeats the purpose of channel surfing. I, for one, really hate "commercial surfing".....

I can't stand watching Desparate Housewives if I don't tape it first and skip through the commercials.  They have way too many of them.  I swear the one hour show only lasts 20 minutes without all the commercials.

Me too!  I love TiVo.  I didn't think we'd use it, but on average it takes 10 minutes off every 30 minutes of a show.  Its really funny though, people are always saying "did you see that commercial..." - and we're like "commercials - HA!"   laughing

I for one hate channel surfing!  Maybe it's because my husband forgets to go back to the original program and I can never follow along with anything!   cussing

See sticks!  I'me not crazy!   cussing 

I don't even watch TV anymore.  Why bother.  By the time I am done with a night of watching TV with him, I come up with JR Ewing being shot by the Red Ryder B B Gun kid.  He is then rushed to County General Hospital where he is treated by a young George Clooney and is later being cut open in an autopsy at Las Vegas CSI after which he is brought back to life by this weird little guy who touches him to find out who shot him.  OYE!   laughing

In the wise words of the Oompa Loompa's:

Oompa, Loompa, doom-pa-dee-do
I have another puzzle for you
Oompa, Loompa, doom-pa-da-dee
If you are wise, you'll listen to me

What do you get from a glut of TV?
A pain in the neck and an IQ of three
Why don't you try simply reading a book?
Or can you just not bear to look?

You'll get no...you'll get no...you'll get no commercials

Oompa, Loompa, doom-pa-dee-da
If you're not greedy, you will go far
You will live in happiness too
Like the Oompa Loompa doom-pa-dee-do
 whistle
