Commercials! Don’t you just love hate tolerate …whatever?! I mean really?
You are watching your favorite show and every 15-20 minutes you “lose” 5-7! Argh! Just think what all the “Walking Dead” could do in those extra 12 minutes or so. The only exception on a consistent basis is those beloved Superbowl commercials! This last time I don’t think I even watched the commercials. Were you wondering like I might have that they could have done ALL the commercials while the power was out!!!? (I understand next year’s Superbowl will be sponsored by Motel 6 – they keep the lights on for you)
Anyway, I have started enjoying online streaming more and more, especially because the commercials are short and sweet. I mean, 30-60 seconds every 15-20 minutes isn’t bad. You can, actually, sit and enjoy the entire show. “Pause” is available if you must go somewhere for a minute or two. I know all these people love watching TWD on AMC but you have to purchase a package with that station and it has commercials, right? I get the season on sale on Amazon. It’s one day behind and it’s not that much. Besides, if I read it right, I own the season now, so I can watch it later.

Growing up was different. Only 4 stations to watch and the commercials had wonderful jingles and were cute and funny. Sis and I were always joining in to help the other “sing” a commercial or say the slogans. Today’s commercials are often very funny, but they simply don’t have the same “Zing” as the old ones. Like these (8-9 min collection):
What started all of this? Well, I was reading one of the blogs I follow, Joe C Combs 2nd for today, and saw the ad that appears in the box after most of the blogs. You know which one I am talking about? Right at the end. It doesn’t run unless you click and, usually, I don’t. But, for some reason today I did. I laughed pretty hard and enjoyed this one enough to find it on YouTube. You can enjoy it here, the Green Housewives:
Do you have a favorite old commercial?
How about a new one?
Just me being nosy.
Namaste,
