If I watch TV at all, it's usually Netflix and they don't have any commercials.

Trouble I have with commercials is that the networks repeat them until I'm sick to death of them, so--if I'm not checking other channels I'll zone out on those.

Ain't THAT the truth!  What I can't stand even more than the commercials is that they keep showing the same ones over and over and over again at every break!  It's as if they want to DRILL it in your head!  I swear an hour show only truly runs about 25 minutes.  I remember the day when cable had no commercials.  Now, it's just as bad as watching a local TV channel - SPAM, I say, SPAM, that's what we're paying for!

I agree! Commercials have gotten way out of hand, take up way to much viewing time, make zero sense, and aren't most of us paying cable or other tv services so why are we to be irritated with all the ads they show! And the volume always goes up when the ads come on, which brings irritation to a whole new level. We live in an ad-filled world.

   I do not like commercials because they are trying to sell you something you do not want or need.

I usually fast forward all the commercials.  There are just too many of them.

The commercials are so important now,they won't even let you fast forward them on On Demand!

Google JediJohnnie and May the Force be with you!

I watch some of them.  I agree some of them are stupid.  But some are pretty funny.

I use commercials as my time to leave the room.

Typically when I am watching TV I will pick up my book I am reading and read during the commercials. If I have recorded a show I will fast forward past them.

Some commercials I like it just depends on the commercial.  If it's one I don't care for I turn the channel and return to it when the commercial is over.   :)
