We never watch and skip over; the only time in a year we watch them is Super Bowl.

Re ads support the paper, duh. My point was the very expensive full page, sometimes 4 full pages like hearing aids, with so much text….
I try to never watch commercials. Some are humorous the 1st time you see them, but not a steady diet of commercials. The main thing that I hate is that the volume is jacked up by the network for commercials. There was a law passed about 1990 to prevent that from happening. However, it was somehow blocked and put in force........too bad!
