I'm Paying $$ to Have Ads Run DURING my Shows

And may I add to this list... Those stupid, annoying, useless chat and twitter scrolls that some shows have added. UGH!!!! I don't care that Susie in VA watches the show because some actor is sooooo **HOT!**.

And thanks OP for the update on the "calm" law!!!

(ps.... they jack up the audio for radio commercials too. The production staff at the radio station I worked at would try to screen them before loading them into the system, but a few always slip through. Those would cause a scramble and cussing fit from the DJ while they tried to back the volume down. I learned plenty of new cuss phrases in my radio days.)

Thanks for bringing attention to that one as well. I've watched a few shows with that banner at the bottom scrolling brainless comments from what seems primarily a juvenile crowd. You could miss the talent, if any, in the show itself due to the nonstop distraction of reading that drivel.

Too funny, let me quess.... New Car Dealerships were the worst offenders?

And furniture stores!!!

I don't know about other markets, but Knoxville has a cut-throat furniture sales industry.

I refuse to give my money to one of the cable giants just so I can watch Sabado Gigante whenever I want.

So I bought a converter box and constructed an elaborate antennae array from the wire hangers I got from the dry cleaners'. I get the same five channels I've ever been able to find something on with cable. And I get meteorological control over two zip codes - bonus!

Sounds great! Can we get a diagram of that?

Imagine the Peanuts' Christmas tree, made of wire hangers. Now remove the ornaments. Mmmm 'kay.
