Yeah, a good third of the time allotted for commercials is now
1/3rd on some stations. I was watching Smallville with a sighted
friend, because he would describe the action to me. While he was
sitting there, telling me what was going on in the show, I was still
watching commercials, the station I was watching having chopped a good 7
minutes out of the program. After that, I simply stopped watching,
wrote a nasty letter to the station, and never looked back. Now I don't
watch TV at all.
