How many commercials do we need, here?

I was one who was hooked on LOST after it came out on DVD.

So when I started to watch it on tv, I was disgusted by the number of commercials there are! Were there always this many commercials? Mother of God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No, I'm talking about the comercial breaks while the show is on, not comercials for Lost.

I think that goes for any series that one is really interested in.

I haven't noticed Lost having any more or less commercials during its showing than any other show.

I never paid much attention to this until last night. It was ridiculous.

Hmm, I live in England but I watch them online first and I have Sky+ so I never watch them on the sunday night. I watch them online on a Friday and then record them on Sundays and watch them about six times throughout the week. I can just fast-forward through the adverts (thats what we call comercials over here) so they don't really bother me, but I can see how they could.

Get a DVR/PVR so you can skip through the commercials like me smile

Or you can always watch them online the next day if it really bothers you... It's hard for me to wait until the DVD releases cause LOST is a show about secrets and they always seem to find they're way on to the boards...

You cant skip live commercials though, only if you tape the episode then watch it.

The commercials are just as bad as anyother tv show.

I usually just wait 15 minutes before watching a show so I can "rewind" to the beginning and have enough time to skip through the commercials before catching up to the live broadcast.

But yeah, the commercials on LOST aren't any worse than other shows. Did anyone watch Grey's Anatomy last week? Christ, there was a commerical every 5 minutes...

It's all in the perception.

All shows follow the same rules as any other show in primetime hours. You just notice the commercials more when your watching a show you like.

Commercials are annoying, would be easier to just record it and then fast forward through the commercials

I really can't stand commercials, they have to much power over TV shows and movies these days IMO. You can't even go to the theater these days without commercials or stream some movies online.
