I watched the last episode last night. It was 5 minutes of show and 10 minutes of commercials, rinse, repeat. So I guess the advertisers like it. I almost turned it off.
Again, I don't understand how anyone can sit through realtime Network TV anymore. I'm actually somewhat surprised that they have been going in this direction of practically 50/50 content/commercials given DVR and other technology.
If realtime TV with no DVR were my only option, I
might sit through 90 seconds of commercials every 15 minutes, which means I might actually stay in my chair and watch the commercials. Longer than that, and I would be up and doing other stuff until the show came back and would thus completely miss what the advertisers were selling.
Anytime I watch shows on network/cable that I don't record, I always buffer them for at least 15 minutes first so that I can hit FF.
