Don’t watch any network shows. Watch baseball and golf. Mute all commercials.

We record 90% of what we watch. Zip trough the commercials as needed. We do like some of them like Morgan & Morgan and other relentless lawyer commercials. We noticed there are not many Contraceptive Commercials but Blue Pill information is plentiful.

Yep!

If it's something that may end up running long and going unexpectedly to another channel, I will try to stay close to the real-time showing...so I can catch up if it happens.

Other than that, I try to DVR almost ALL shows I watch...so that I can FF through the commercials.

I agree one of the most annoying commercials on television is... The Toyota of Orlando & the Sister...Toyota of Leesburg ...now what looks like the Female has replaced the " Guy " with which has a striking resemblance to her.

UGGGGGGhhh

What is worse still than the mindless commercials is the " Canned " laughter.. Extremely annoying. In England for example canned laughter is pretty much non existent.

Good comedy doesn't need it.

We do also, especially NFL football games. Fast forward all the commercials. I hate when the Patriots play the late Sunday/Monday/Thursday night games because it is so late we have to watch the game live and deal with all the dam commercials. We just can't go to sleep knowing the game is going on, and wait to watch it in the morning.

The worst part about the commercials is how the volume increases when they come on.

My father used to mute the ads and it drove everyone nuts. We record everything we watch except the news and sports events and just go past the ads.

I record everything, including news for Mom and Dad, so they can fast forward.

Are you talking about the one with the dog sitting on the hood of the car? Obviously they've decided pets sell cars. Well, maybe so, but not when they're sitting on a towel on the hood of the car so they won't scratch it, looking like they'd rather be anywhere else, and one of the announcers had to hold the dog by the collar to keep him from bolting.


I record all my favorite baseball team's games so not only can I skip the commercials, I can skip the game if they don't win. Suspense not being one of my things.

I thought they had a towel under the pup so he wouldn't burn his tush on the hot car.
