Commercials are those things that come on and make you change to a different channel without them, right?

It seems to me that TV became more violent after 9/11 with all the SWAT team shows, etc and now the programming has become WEIRD with all the zombie, GRIMM and vampire crap. Not very uplifting so I a don't watch much and commercials...as said above...is the opportunity to change the channel.

The proportion of TV commercials on Bloomberg TV involving violence remains at ~0% compared with ~0% previously. (and I only know this because it is on in the office I am currently working from.)

Not sure why one would willingly subject themselves to commercials (or TV in general).

I think it was me. smiley

I realized I watched some shows on SPIKE TV for a couple days. It's mostly back ground noise and keeps the critters away. Maybe it gets people thinking about how we're being approached by people needing our money so hope it's a good waste of time. Going to leave the poll set as it is to read the comments it drums up.

Sorry, I use my TV to watch DVDs only. What occurs on TV I have to find out from other people.

Poll should have had an option for "I don't watch TV and/or commercials". A very glaring error in design.
