is it me or are there more advertisements?

[a kennedy]

holy crap......my local news is nuts, and silly me.....i thought me paying for tv was the end of advertisements!!! It has really become insane with them. UGH.

1. I recall the promise of cable tv

When it was first available. “No commercials “ . I don’t think that lasted more than a couple of years.

2. It's just you. Now have a seat on this marvelous La-Z-Boy sofa on sale now at your local dealer

I'll make you cup of nice refreshing Folger's Coffee with some tasty and healthy International Delight Hazelnut creamer. If that doesn't do anything, you should speak to you doctor about Trintellix.

3. Well, consider this...

I have recorded episodes of TV series that I watch periodically. Older ones from the 60's/70's generally are 45-50 minutes long. Newer ones from after 2000 are roughly 42-44 minutes long. You do the math.

4. Yes and it seems its' getting worse!

I was watching Stephen Colbert the other day and I counted at least 10 minutes of commercials between the monologue and the 2nd break - and a 3 1/2 minute spot for Jack In The Box! Ugh.

And no I don't care about Flo, or the Helpful Honda people, or Capitol One frequent flyer miles, or Geico ads, or DirecTV, or any of that bullshit.

5. It would be impossible without a recorder.

I can usually record about 15-20 minutes before I start watching and then I am able to fast forward thru the commercials before I forget what it was I was watching....

6. One of the reasons to not have TV

7. Its getting ridiculous.

I had to watch advertisements on an on-demand movie I paid for with Spectrum.
