It's so short you can't skip it.

Hm, well, it's a minute long.

I'm hoping they figure commercials on TV out one day. Originally Hulu would play one 15 or 30 second commercial at the point where a normal broadcast television show would have 2+ minutes of commercials.

I don't watch live TV because of the commercials. When I have to, I go off and do something else, check my phone, flip to TCM (no commercials) or do anything but watch the commercials. If nothing else, I just zone them out and think about other things.

A single 30 second commercial break is too short to bother forwarding through, getting up, or otherwise diverting my attention. I actually watched the commercials, and I didn't even mind, really. You would think that would make the commercial time much more valuable, but I guess that isn't the case because the last time I watched Hulu it had almost as many ads as normal television.

I try to stay positive about the human race, but I fear that the majority of people actually sit there paying attention all throughout the stupid long commercial breaks on TV.

I don't watch regular TV for two reasons.
1). The shows are so dumbed down, I find them insulting.
2). Cable access is so ridiculously over priced, and they force you to pay for channels you don't want.

As far as commercials. I view commercials as short films. They have 30-60 seconds to sell a concept and a story. Most fail, but some get it right.

Downvoting simply for the inundation of Geico ads that I already have to sit through. This was just another way for them to get their message of saving 15% in to my brain.

Resist! Resist!

Police Squad/Naked Gun ripoff. I hope those ingredients were dog friendly, seems like a lot to eat, over 4 human portions. Could be sick, for the sake of a joke.

You don't have to buy cable to watch TV. You can use over the air (OTA) antenna to get local channels assuming you're not blocked and close enough to the transmitters.

Downvote for content, not for the inundation of ads....like the Old Spice commercials--I just stopped upvoting them...but never downvoted them...

Nope.
Not here.
It's all digital here now, so no antenna is going to do the job without hooking up and using the box they supply.

Any newer (< 10 years old?) TV is already digital, and you can just plug a digital antenna directly to it, no box required. If yours is older, you can get a free converter box coupon from the gov. Info found here....

EDIT: Crap. I didn't read it. The coupon program expired in 2009. Sorry.

How old is your TV? Is it a CRT TV? Get a converter box. I know people who still use them.
