People should be up in arms about TV anyway. The promise of "pay" TV(cable and satellite)was that we would never have to watch commercials, you payed as you went therefore there would be no commercials. Now we have to pay for our cable or satellite and, in most cases, have to still put up with commercials.

Even more irritating is the new trend of flashing commericials onto the screen as the show is running. Usually right after the regular commercials have run and right before the regular commericials begin.

This is perhaps one of the most irritating developments of TV, and the FCC should put a halt to it. Once the show starts, no damn commercials on the screen. Also, the FCC should make any provider of pay type TV screen out the commercials so viewers don't have to watch them. Either we pay through commercials or we pay directly, not both.

I hate how the networks will run a commercial on a scroll just as a show starts back up again from a commercial break. They are incredibly distracting and now even include sound!
There are a lot of reasons people are not watching tv as much as they used to. Netflicks and DVR are just two. Usually, it is not some new tech, but the fact that there is just not anything on a person could watch and my wife will not allow me to watch an episode of MythBusters more than three times!

Probably there will be direct internet feeds soon and the whole thing will be all bolloxed up again. I'd rather keep the FCC out of it.
