I was having similar problems with my new addiction Nip/Tuck. I have decided to just go on what commercial detection has been finding & just creating a cut list before I watch the show. Hell, it takes 5-10 minutes to put together a cutlst & the show doesnt break when suddenly a commercial is detected 5 seconds long when Christian and Julia start to make out (Megan O'hare episode), or a 3 second commercial break while Juila walks in on Matt's 3 some. Its probably better this way, it forces me to perfect all the commercial breaks before I get ready to burn to DVD, intead of just go on the breaks that are still a little bit off.
