kmt_sesh Posted July 21, 2017 #3 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Anything "reality" based. It's all junk and flotsam. (I'm going by only that which I hate. I don't watch junk and flotsam.) 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm not mistaken, back when I was a kid several thousand years ago, the most one would see is a short commercial break every fifteen minutes. Now there are long commercial breaks about every ten minutes. In an hour-length show, one is lucky to see 20 minutes of programming. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now there are long commercial breaks about every ten minutes. In an hour-length show, one is lucky to see 20 minutes of programming. When I was a kid there were two thirty second commercials and one one minute commercial per episode. Now, every show is just, practically, window dressing for the commercials. I only binge watch shows by the season on movie channels, sans commercials, now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was a youngster writing on stone tablets, the quarter-hour commercial breaks were very short and the half-hour breaks were longer. But there were no other commercial breaks between them. And remember when we used to call them "commercial interruptions"? Even the people n TV did. Now it's "breaks." We mustn't offend the advertisers, right? I use Hulu a lot. And I pay a little more for the subscription so that I don't have to watch commercials. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlitterRose Posted July 21, 2017 #11 Share Posted July 21, 2017 I try not to watch shows that suck, but just flipping through...it seems like reality shows and that icky Dance Moms thing sucked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmt_sesh Posted July 21, 2017 #12 Share Posted July 21, 2017 I'd lump all of the tedious dance shows in with reality flotsam. The overabundance of the cooking crap, too. How many ways can Chef Ramsay recycle ways to scream like a strutting dandy at folks? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apropos of that, we were watching some show where a bunch of celebs sat at a table and shot the breeze (because despite having 100 channels to choose from, there was nothing else on for 15 before Poirot started). The show had a little fanfare for whenever they came back from ads. In Oz that was about every 10 minutes. The fanfare played every three or four. So the US apparently cut to ads every three or four minutes of programming. Holy Sithspit that'd be annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first show I binge watched was Farscape, made in Australia, I believe. Never could get into it when originally broadcast because the commercial interruptions made the "in Chriton's head" Scorpius sequences far too confusing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And is still damn funny and clever with each new episode. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astra. Posted August 10, 2017 #24 Share Posted August 10, 2017 I rarely watch commercial television, as half of it's tripe, especially when it comes to some of these pea-brained reality and TV games shows....not to mention the constant advertising that's rammed down your throat. Thank god, for the mute button. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiXilver Posted August 10, 2017 #25 Share Posted August 10, 2017 We haven't had cable for about six years now... never had satellite. Take care what you eat, it affects your health, take greater care what you choose to let yourself think, it affects how you view reality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
