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.

Well why can't you and your husband talk to each other while the commercial is on?-lol

Chocolate Moose · 02-01-2007, 12:05 PM

I almost never watch commercials either. 98% of the time.

PrettyinPink55 · 02-01-2007, 12:08 PM

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.

Wow, I thought my cousin was the only one who did that-lol

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

Brent88 · 02-01-2007, 04:23 PM

I get online during commericals(much easier now with my laptop in my room

) or channel surf most of the time. Very rarely do I watch the commericals.

AB · 02-01-2007, 05:16 PM

Just about everyone I know does this, how else would we get to watch so
many good shows?

EmoJoe · 02-01-2007, 06:01 PM

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. >_>
