Commercials!

[NationalMatch]

The last time I had commercial/network television was back in 1998. That was the last time I had seen commercials.

I recently subscribed to a service to watch season 4 of "Yellowstone." I had been binge watching the first 3 seasons commercial free on a service called "Peacock."

Last night I watched the first few episodes of season 4 on a service called "Philo." But I declare, I think I watched as many commercials as I did program.

Is it always that bad, or does their software target me?

The service that enables me to watch season 4 is free for a week, but I think I'll just wait for it to go non commercial and in its entirety. Not worth it, IMO.

LMAO, you went there ! I just spent a little time in a hospital bed after having my appendix removed and I saw what commercials have become. The message I derived is disgusting in my eyes. Gobs and gobs of them did nothing but raise my blood pressure.

We have OTA broadcast TV, and are lucky if we get 20 minutes of actual program time per half hour.

And yes, many of the ads are dumber than a stump. Sometimes I can't even figure out what they're selling until the last few seconds.

You must be watching different channels than I am. All I see are ads with celebrities hawking Medicare Advantage plans.

Yeah like I'm going to buy retirement medical insurance recommended by a 2nd rate feetsball player who bragged about wearing panty hose in games played during cold weather..........

Yeah... they've pretty much taken over during the medicare enrollment period.

I'll be 65 next year, and have been flooded with SPAM phone calls selling medicare plans. Along with those letting me know our car's warranty has expired, of course...

In some of the cbs prime time shows I get Glock commercials. They aren’t as good as the old “You picked the wrong” ones.

I DVR everything that’s on commercial supported channels. My remote has a skip button and I’ve gotten really good at skipping right over them.

I've literally worn out the FF and reverse buttons on ours...
