You should be watching PBS? Sometimes you can watch tv on PBS for an hour, an hour and a half, or even two hours without seeing a commercial. On commercial tv, it will generally be 10 minutes or less between commercials, and the commercials will last for five minutes.

I'm an American who has grown up with commercials everywhere, and I despise very nearly one-hundred percent of them. It is rare to see a commercial that is entertaining and which doesn't fundamentally expect you to be too stupid to see its manipulations or ask the obvious questions which would undermine its claims. And so many of them are loud. Bless that man who worked for the Zenith company [former manufacturers of tv and radio and et cetera] and invented the remote control. Commercials usually produce in me the opposite reaction to what they were intended to, so that I feel ill-will toward the company that sponsored them. Exceptions to this exist, but they sit in isolated lonely splendour.
