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.
Most being big Pharma and/or pushing bi racial couples and homosexuality
That is pretty accurate. I remember reading a number of years ago that there is roughly 10 minutes of advertising for every 20 minutes actual programming that you watch.
once they get you hooked on a show they do more and more commercial time as the series progresses through the season.
The other thing I have noticed is that the commercials tend to be more bunched up towards the end. You get reeled in the beginning with no breaks to the storyline and when you are into the story and waiting for the climax, they will do commercials like every seven minutes (and the same ones over and over).
This is the beauty of a DVR though; once that starts to happen, I just hit pause, go do something for 10 minutes and then start watching again and FF through all the garbage. Usually I end up at the same time the program does had I let the commercials run.
Try to do a treadmill with regular TV. I'd be fine during the show, but then the commercial breaks and whoa, the pain and agony set in until the show resumes.
Accommodating the attention sp.....what's that?? OOO a shiny!!! ?
