Think we can get a cap on how many times a particular ad is shown per week?
Sometimes they're shown four times in the SAME DAMN 3 MINUTE AD BREAK.

Razor had this to say about Punky Brewster:
they should shove all of the adds between the hours of 1am and 5am.... let 'em repeat all they want.
Sorry, but that's the only way that television statios make money. Or, at the very least, the big way. If ads get shoved off to a non peak time, they become far less valuable -- not many people watch at those times.
Vernal, I can feel ya there, sure...And, as a consumer of television, I'm with you. But as someone who eventually will make a living off this type of stuff...I am obligated to say they need to stay

Mortious had this to say about the Spice Girls:
The crazy frog ads here are seriously getting on my nerves.Sometimes they're shown four times in the SAME DAMN 3 MINUTE AD BREAK.
We got them here too now, what a terrible ad campaign.
He needs to just come out and start doing ads for Ride the Snake.
It's not something people hear about.

Except we're fast approaching the point when the programming is just a series of 30-second blurbs in amongst the advertising. If the companies aren't careful, more and more people will abandon TV for their DVD players and their TIVOs in order to escape the ads. . .leaving the stations in a worse position than if they cut back.

I'd like to see HBO, Cinemax, Starz, etc start appropriating TV shows that are already being swamped with commercial advertisement.
I would kill many clowns for 24, CSI, ER or the Shield on a commercial and censor free station.

Some people are like Slinkys... Not really good for anything, But they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.

Unfortunately, broadcasters want our hard-earned dollars, not clowns. Vernaltemptress fucked around with this message on 06-04-2005 at 09:58 PM.

This is why I don't watch much TV, especially on large networks. Just about all I bother to keep up with these days is Adult Swim, and that's only because they don't put a three minute ad break in for every five minutes of programming.
