No offense or judgement meant to anyone if that’s your thing (to each their own). That’s just how I see pretty much all professional sports - the super bowl is just the poster child for it.

    I’ve just started binging Schitt’s Creek. Couldn’t work out why the episodes are only 20 minutes long, then realised why the screen goes black for a second, every 5 minutes. WTF, these are ad breaks?!? That many?!?

    Even had one literally a minute before the end.

    I just simply wouldn’t watch a TV channel that had so many ad breaks. That shit just wouldn’t fly where I live; why do people put up with it?!?

    (Also, the repeating pattern for series - episode 1&2 - funny and interesting. Episodes 3 to 12 - generic 1970s sitcom that’s 90% soap-opera filler rammed with ads, obviously. Episodes 13&14 - funny and interesting again to sell you the next series. Not worth watching after S03. This applies to every American series I’ve watched in the last 5 years )
