Do adverts prevent you watching your fave prog?
I love Ugly Betty, Desperate Housewives and Lost, but all those damn adverts drive me crazy :banghead: and I have to turn off half way through the programme as they just go on for so long and annoy me too much.
Why can't every channel be like the Beeb?

I never said I don't watch such channels, just that they annoy me. Pay attention.
But I do mind that they make them so LOUD. I usually turn the volume off during the ads.
In Iceland it's the norm to have a break halfway through at the cinema. If you are one of three persons watching the movie they however skip the break.
Ads in programs was a bit odd to get used to when it started, but now if I'm at uni I use the time to go to the toilet or tidy or get something done. I often read textbooks. In the city I often check what's elsewhere as there's nothing to do in the TV room.
Though sometimes I like commercials. FUnny stuff, specially during the superbowl.
