I'd rather watch a second rate movie on TV with no commercials

than watch something better on a channel with commercials.
10 minutes of movie.
5 minutes of commercials.
I hate that.

I actually think that commercials, during movies and shows, as I was growing up, increased ADHD/ While you're concentrating, suddenly a commercial interrupts, and your train of thought is distracted. I was an avid TV watcher from childhood 1950's.

This is exactly why we don't watch movies on TV any more.

We like Netflix, either the discs or streamed.
