Networks With A Lot Of Commercials - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

SoapNet- During Melrose Place, they play the opening and the theme, then cut to a commercial break with like 8 commercials. Each break they take, there is a lot of commercials.

Nick At Nite- Lately, they have been airing a scene on a show, and abruptly, even right when someone is talking, they cut right to a commercial. There is a lot of them.

ABC Family
The Disney Channel
Oxygen

Disney Channel only has 2 commercial breaks per show, and they only avertize for their channel! Nick at Nite may have alot of commercials for George Lopez, but none of the other shows do. And when GL does have a commercial, its only like 1 minute, when the shows only have 2 breaks they last around 5 min!

The-N seems to have really long and annoying commercial breaks. Especially those Queen Bees commercials are about 3 min lol

They cut into Summerland every 5 minutes! And they must be cutting like crazy cause the episodes end 10 minutes before the hour is over! The N sucks at Commericials. I wish Summerland was on ABC family or something!

ABC Family has so many commercials that it's gotten ridiculous! So does AMC.

Heather987 · 08-05-2008, 01:07 AM

I seem to find NBC has a lot of commercial breaks on some shows and on others they are approx. 15 min. apart (when they are an hour long) but they take a long time to complete all the ads.

CNN - I know not exactly a channel with tv show sitcoms but they have talk shows. Ever watch Nancy Grace and notice some of her commercial breaks are within 1 min. of each other.

SoapNets definitely the worst. I have time to prepare food, check my computer and call my friends all during an episode of Melrose Place! It's ridiculous!

In Chicago, WGN has been known as the WORST editors of all time for many many years. I don't know if it's as bad on their cable/satellite network, but it is THE WORST in the local market. They have been known to cut from a scene in a comedy BEFORE the punchline.
