Yeah, I watch some shows On Demand and if they aren't "recent" the one hour show is listed at 43 minutes and it still contains some advertisements. I calculate there are at least 20 minutes of commercials in a one hour TV show.
When you think about it, TV was new when our grandparents were young. My parents sat around and watched Tv all night, all day, everyday. It’s normal to them, but how when it was brand new to their parents? It has some kind of spell on people. I only watch what I want to, usually a historical documentary or a period piece. I really don’t know how people have a TV running in their home at all times. I am so glad it does not have a spell over me.
We quit about the same time (Monica Lewinski did it for us - we returned the cable box). But before that, we would record the few shows that we liked, play them back when we were ready and fast forwarded through the commercials.
You can say that again. And they don't even realise that it's brainwashing them.
I would never call out someone's grammar, but I do have to disagree with your statement of 'every 12 minutes'. More like every 7-9 minutes. Kek.

My grandpa called it the evil eye. He also said it would corrupt our society. He was right.

But I really like hearing Gordon Ramsey yell at people while I am doing chores.
they would sit around the radio listening before they had tv.
What's literacola?
Its grammar Nazi. Nazi is a proper noun.
The contraction for it is, has an apostrophe.
Right, that's it!
