Whenever we are watching an interesting programs on Television, we get irritated by the commercial break which are prime requisites to run that channel. I use to finish of small small works in this break and sits before TV. I do agree that some ad's are really really interesting to watch in this break but overall it gets bored only because of the break and interruption. If you have no work to do then there is no any other option but to wait to end the break. What do you do in the breaks?

Go to the loo and make a cuppa tea.Or sometimes when I am swilling in tea.I just watch the commercials some are quite good.The commercial breaks are getting longer and longerWe mainly watch BBC as they don't have commercials.

I haven't been watching Television shows in T.V. for a long time now but I do remember the feeling. Most of the time I would just switch channel during commercial breaks and then switch back after a few estimated minutes. There are times though that I wouldn't dare do this because I would hate to miss even a few seconds of the show, so I am scared that by switching channels during commercial breaks, I might switch back too late.

I like to have a break during a film particulary if its a long film, I usually take that opportunity to put the kettle on and make a cup of tea

I read newspapers during the commercial breaks. I like to watch new commercials. But the old commercials are repeated every time. So I am bored to watch those repeated commercials.

Like you I too have got fed up with commercial breaks frequently interrupting the story of tv serials and spoiling our interest in it.I know that but for these breaks,the channels can't run,so I have no option other than swallow them somehow.But like you I too don't miss my time watching the breaks or looking for them to end.I make the best possible use of the time writing articles for the article writing sites that I have recently joined.

I agree that commercials can be such an irritating bother to whatever program we are watching, unless all of them are really entertaining to watch, which is highly not always the case. On commercial breaks, I usually do my pee-breaks :) Like I would really hold it until the commercial especially if I don't wanna miss a single thing with whatever I'm watching. Sometimes I use it to go get myself something to drink. Then the next break will be pee-break once more; I just realized its just like a cycle for me haha!
