Every TV show they like to watch they record it that night and just watch it the following day so they can just fast forward through the commercials-lol My cousin does that and it annoys the hell out of me because i have to wait TWO days to talk to her about something I watched the night it came on since she won;t be watching until the next day. damm I didn;t know anyone can hate commercials that much

My husband and I do it all the time. We never watch a show as it airs.

When I DVR or tape something, I never watch the commercials unless it's like for a movie or show I'm interested in. But I usually always fast forward. But when I watch it live, I have no choice lol!

We talk enough, lol. It's faster. For example, we'll tape Prison Break and 24 on Monday nights while we're watching a Netflix movie. When the movie's over, we'll blast throught the tv shows.

Yeah, sometimes I'll DVR a show, and start watching it fifteen minutes after it starts airing, so I know I don't have to sit through the commercials. Most of the time, though, I'll watch the show the next afternoon after I get off work.

I guess since my Internet is next to my TV the commercials don;t bother me

i either go online or talk to whoever im watching TV with during commercials. they dont bother me as long as theres not too many. Comedy Central is infamous for showing 8904890238902348902323 commercials and its annoying. >_>

I canceled my cable largely because of the commercials. They were simply becoming such a big source of stress in my life.

My cousin explained to me why it's good to record sometime. Because u can be watching a Show and the phone rings or you turn your head and you missed something and have to ask someone else what happened. Like in my case on Wednesday Night, I was watching Amercian idol and Simon was chasing one of the guys who auditioned and I didn;t know why because I turned my head

I'm that way too only I download all my shows. If I have to wait an extra day to get a nice crisp commercial free version, so be it. I detest ads.

I just don't answer the Phone when my mom calls because I'm used to her not wanting anything. So I will see her number and not pick up and just call later
