What's wrong with TV & what it will take to change it..

[adam1991]

This is the catch22 of the commercial funded model. After all it's those dollars that pay for the 'quality' of the TV. If everyone skips them, the outcome is inevitable.

The only constant is change. Things *will* change. In the meantime, I will take what I can.

It is all about ME. And that is an attitude that Hollywood execs understand and appreciate.

One day they started prattling on about "this is Peggy", and all I could do was smile and nod. This went on for a solid year before I stumbled upon a link to a Youtube video of one of the "Hello, this is Peggy" commercials.

That happens to me all the time at work. I suppose I should reply with, "Commercials? There are commercials on TV?"

I guess I'm nowhere near "average", then. I skip all the commercials on TV and listen to satellite radio on my 35-45 minute (each way) commute. As a result, I am completely out of touch with advertising. I don't hear commercials in the car, and I don't see commercials at home.

You've just described my life for the last many years.

I have occasion to call some help desk people in my organization; they're remote, but we're good drinking buddies when I'm up at the corporate complex. We know each other pretty well.

Such is the life of those who are happily oblivious to commercials....
