    I didn’t think there was anything worth watching before. I’m certain now. All ads are insults to your time and intelligence.

      Most didn’t even notice the 12 mins of every hour taken for ads on TV (old stat; could even be worse now). And if you brought it to their attention, something about doing chores during them or somehow accepting them as the only way in which you’d receive your entertainment was what you heard. Any moment of most ads is an insult to your mental as far as I’m concerned. And others just don’t want to protect themselves.

        Back in the late 50s/early 60s, a tv season season ran 39 weeks long, and an hour-long show ran for 54 minutes.
