Gfre says....
"That is the great thing about watching recorded TV.
You can blast through the stuff you are not interested in.
I seldom watch anything live.
My wive likes the singing on the Voice but all of the yacking is too
much for her. A 2 hour show lasts about 25-30 minutes. "


Yup.
This time of year we spend a bit too much time avoiding a cool damp
climate watching the boob tube, especially at night.
Wife and I both have what the cable company call a POV cable recorder
box on our TVs.
We record what we want for later viewing. The main reason for this
is the insufferable commercials.
At one time they were somewhat regulated in frequency and duration
but that seems to have eroded over the years.

Typically a network show is 22 minutes of content per half hour but
some cable shows are less than that. To compensate they will roll
credits at the end of the show in a box under the lead in for the next
show and the show itself may be time compressed some too.
They can also just run the show a little long. If you set the timer
for 1/2 hr, you may miss a minute or two.
I started time shifting back in the mid 70s with a Beta SL7200 and
never stopped. The DVR really makes it easy now.


I just mute commercials, don't even want to hear it. What ****es me off
now is they break the commercials with what looks like they are coming
back from commercial only to go straight back to another couple
commercials...




I don't understand why you conservative Republican advocates of the
unfettered free enterprise system express such disdain for the
commercials on the for-profit networks and stations, since it is those
commercials that make the programming you like so much possible.


I don't. I prefer "pay" TV.
If they would just sell me the shows I want to watch, for a nominal
fee, I would be a happy guy.
I do believe that might be coming via the internet some day soon.

Now that there is a way to bill it, I think content producers will
figure out they can make more money directly selling to the consumer
than they ever got from the advertiser driven networks.
Advertising is simply a very insidious tax on everything you buy. The
less you see something advertised, the better value it will be.



Advertising increases the market for goods and services, and before
corporate greed took over, allowed more goods and services to be sold to
more people at lower prices that still earned the sellers decent profits.

Just because you are opposed to abortion doesn’t make you pro-life. Your
morality is deeply lacking if all you want is a child born but not a
child fed, not a child educated, not a child housed, not a child
clothed, not a child able to see the doctor. That’s not pro-life…that’s
pro-birth.
