Tv commercials are very well known, but do you like tv commercials or ads. For instance, You are watching your favorite tv program and very hooked to it, then it starts to view commercials and (I notice) it take 5 to 7 minute to stop, what do you feel?
But before anything else tv stations earn money by commercials or product ads, but I just hate it especially when it is very repetitive!
Now, Love it or hate it?

I love tv commercials because it gives you the chance to do something like go to the bathroom to pee, grab some food or just do your thing. Also there are some tv commercials which are very entertaining.
I hate tv commercials because its repetitive, too long and when the program is about to end and then *beep* time for commercial.

yes, they are like that, most programs with high viewers' rating, but if you would watch other tv programs on other channels which have independent sponsors I mean single or very few - then you will enjoy the whole program, yes, you could pee or grab some food but still in a hurry cause you suppose that it will be your program but instead a long commercial series again, thanks^^

I'm pretty sure most Americans hate TV commercials. Of course, famously during the Super Bowl, people are said to watch that more for the commericals than the actual game. Of course, I doubt men would say that. : ) There can be some good commercials, but in the last 30 years, commercials have increased in time, while actual TV shows have lessened their length. So we see more TV commercials than we ever did. At least here we do.

Of course if the commercial time length increase so to the tv program time decreases and for us to suffer to watch it in very long time, just actually 10-15 min tv program and not 30 minutes at all, but without commercial no tv program the only way I think to eradicate being irritated just switch to other channels then just go back if the show is on again, thanks, good!!^^

Some commercials are very nice with spectacular visuals and highlighted music and very good photography. Technicaly some commercials are great. But when they come interupting your favorite program you get irritated. As you said they are the base for the existance of the channels.

yes, I become really irritated especially when the next scene is the scene in which you are really excited to watch, I think tv program is less than 15 minutes or just 10 minutes and commercials cover up the excess or the time left, for instance 30 min program but actually it is just 10 or less 15 min program, but we have to be thankful cause somewhat we can watch our favorite show for free, i mean free to watch but electricity is not, ahaha, lol^^
