When you are on the internet or watching tv, the commercials repeat themselves over and over and you can memorize them.
It can get annoying.
I appreciate commercial free programming.

     There is only one TV channel with no commercials. It is called CREATE. There is only one problem: It is about travel, cooking and arts & crafts.

I don't mind commercials to a degree and can for the most part filter out automatically the ones I would be otherwise indifferent on.  I just get annoyed, however, with the very annoying ones.

On television, we rarely watch a program that hasn't been prerecorded.  That way we can fast forward through the commercials.  On loyalty radio, the commercials repeat themselves one right after the other, sometimes four in a row.  It can be annoying.  I would think companies would try NOT to annoy people with their ads.

I agree but advertisers are trying to promote there products. Everybody is trying to make a buck out there.

My husband always mutes the commercials or goes to another channel.  It makes for a lot of jumping around the programs.

I agree that the commercials can be annoying, and I do get tired of them repeating themselves. When that happens I turned the TV down and do what I need before the show comes back on.

I HATE commercials so much.  It seems in the past there would be like 3 or 4 one minute commercials between segments now there is like 20, 15 second commercials between each show segment :o  Also, when you change the channel there are commercials going on there too :bad:  Sometimes I turn the volume down for a few minutes but then I miss the beginning of the show because I had the volume down :bad:  Repeated commercials in the same span between segments is really annoying :bad:

We feel the same way. Lately we watch very little TV for that reason. Instead we watch DVD's of old series. They have no commercials.
