Sinavestos Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 Okay so I like this show. Lots of **** blowing up, some people getting tortured ... guns, violence, action ... good stuff. But is it just me, or does this show have more commercials than *anything* I've ever seen before? WTF does The Man have to go and **** up decent things on network television? I mean, yes, I get it ... the show is popular, so therefore, more people will be watching the advertising ... and that means they can sell it for more, and make more money. I get the business side of it. But for Christ's sakes ... there's like 10 minutes of the show (maybe that much ...actually I'm not positive on that) for each 5 minutes of commercials. That means 1/3rd of the time I'm spending watching this show is spent watching bs commercials. Don't they realize people like me will watch this and never watch anything else on network television again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psycho Child Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 Get a TIVO. Or just buy the series on DVD. Or be like me and never watch television. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-red- Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 24 is a terrific series. And yes, for every ten minutes, its a five minute commercial break. I think its also in part because the show boasts 'real time' so they have to think up less **** when a third of that 'real time' is lost to commercials Sadly, China has a nack for playing the absolute WORST of american movies and tv shows on their networks. Good news, is that we got the DVDs right away, sometimes before the movies have left theatres in america. That means my long awaited season five of '24' is on the way.. sweeet.

Chayesh Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 Tivo/DVR. Live it, love it. Start watching your favorite show 15-20 minutes after it starts and use FF>>. Never watch commercials again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister E Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 If you have time to watch tv, you could be ranking or pking. Training w/ Tv is acceptable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warpnow Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 ReplayTv here. Almost exactly like Tivo and I wouldn't watch TV without it(okay, I would, but I wouldn't be happy about it!) I love having episodes of my fav tv shows backed up for when I am bored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
