30 minute sitcoms: 18-19 minutes of show and 11-12 minutes of commercials
I realize without commercials there would be no way for shows to recoup costs and make money but jesus christ, there is no flow left to a show with all the interruptions from the commercials. I do a ton of recordings to bypass the commercials but tonight watched Georgie and Mandy's First Marriage on CBS and it was brutal. Must have seen 25 commercials of 30 seconds while trying to watch. So ****ing annoying.

Reminds me of the tip thread with all the tip creep happening just for picking up your takeout order.

When I watched shows in the 70s and 80s, i think it was more like 25 minutes of shows and 5 minutes of commercials.

Same thing has happened online with all the ads, popups, chat requests, discount slideouts.

Really pushing me to tune out and disconnect from all this shit.
