I do that all the time. I can't suffer TV ads. I wonder if everybody does the same who listens to the ads. The ad companies are paying a lot for it to be on TV. I only see the ads when I am watching something very interesting or important and I don't want to miss even a small portion of it.
Do you switch TV channels during ads?
Are you interested to see the ads in TV?
Don't you think there is something important or interesting in ads?

Well it kind of depends. If there are two great Tv shows that are on at the same time that I absolutely love, then I would normally watch the one that I like a bit more, or I won't watch the one that can be viewed on the internet. On the adds, I will then switch the channel to see a bit of the show. Otherwise, I just leave it and get bored. I mean no one really looks at adds anyway. They just doodle around with there fingers.

depends on my mood, sometimes i really hate waiting, so when it is commercial time, id switch channels.
sometimes also it depends if two shows that i like are being shown at the same time, i switch from channel to channel in between commercials.
but sometimes when i watch tv and the kids are watching with me, i dont do it because they get annoyed with me... 
, and my two years old likes watching those commercials...

I actually don't change the channels. there have been quite a few products that Ive spotted on TV that i use and either wouldn't have known about otherwise had i changed the channel to one that had an actual show in progress. Besides Ive found that even if you change the channel a lot of times different channels have very similar timings. So when i change the channel i end up getting more commercials anyway.

LOL, this discussion But I'm always switching channels even during the show if a segment seems uninteresting! No matter commercials or not, though I'm not a big commercial fan either, I can careless for them!

Yes I do that all the time. The commercials for the most part are boring and I feel like I'm wasting time. So either I change the channel to see what else is on or I get up and do something that needs to be done around the house.

Hi there, well it depends on my mood. There are times that i want to stick in the show i am watching so i dont switch channel. But if not really good i do switch channel everytime especially during commercial break. But sometimes my daughter's want to see some commercial she even have her favorite commercials so i dont change channel. Anyway, keep on mylotting, hope i can make sense here. Goodluck.
