I am watching a movie now and the same thing is happening..The commercials pay for the program that you are watching that is why they last forever...

Suggestion- go to your local video store and rent a movie.
You can keep a business in business and you can skip the previews.

I don't mind a few commerical, but just every few minutes is awful. And some of them are so stupid. I don't know how dumb they think we are. Rent a movie skip the commericals.

but i sometimes like the commercials because it gives me a bathroom break and a break from sitting there all day :)

Commercials pay for the station you are watching.  I dont mind them at all,  I get up and get a drink or go to the restroom.  Or gives me time to talk with others about my day or their day.

Usually I watch the replay of all my favorite shows On Demand .. Most of the time I
can fast forward through the commercials ... I have it figured out that there are usually
7 commercials in a row.
