I'm watching I, Robot on FX and every commercial break has at least one Shield commercial.

How many commercial breaks does an average move have in the States?

Used to be about 2 minutes of commercials every 15 minutes... I think it's increased to about every 10 minutes. And they are much louder than the program that you are trying to watch

This, plus the parents television council telling us what we can and cannot see, is why less and less people watch broadcast television or even basic cable these days.

It's all about the premium channels!

I don't watch TV anymore at all. I just download BSG and House every week.

Even though the commercial situation is much better in Germany, I do the same. 90% of the TV I watch is in English.


Edit: God, I cannot type anymore.

~43 minutes of program time for every hour of real time is roughly the standard.

Sadly enough, I do the same thing for the shows I watch. I don't have TiVo, so this is far easier. I wish the BSG rips as of late were better though.

Depending on the time of the day and channel, that is completly true.

Be assured, there are commercials for more normal stuff here too.

It's true. We have porn movies that are interrupted by porn commercials.

Late at night it is nigh impossible to escape these commercials.

Commercials are the reason I rarely watch tv. That and I can't make it a habit to watch a show every time it comes on and hate getting out of the loop.

For your regular 30 TV Show:
Opening - commercials - 11 minutes of TV Show - commercials - 11 minutes of TV Show - commercials.......Credits(with commercials)

60 minute shows are just another 11 minutes/commercials/11 minutes/commercials then credits.

Broadcasted movies has a different break up.
