Guest DragonflyKid Report post Posted November 1, 2002 They did that with the Godfather movies also. Everytime I was getting into the flow of the movie... commercials and lots of them. I did vow afterwards to never watch an R rated movie in edited tv form. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest starvenger Report post Posted November 1, 2002 I've never figured out the point in watching movies on cable TV: no swearing + no nudity + no gore = no point. I miss my Canadian TV, where the only thing that ever seems to be edited (after 9pm) is "motherfucker"... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Smark Hammill Report post Posted November 1, 2002 Here's what you do. You buy yourself a DVD player, and buy those movies or TV box sets. That's what I did. My apologies if you're still in school or what have you, but getting a DVD player solves the whole having-to-sit-through-commercials thing for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Smues Report post Posted November 2, 2002 What annoys me most about TNN isn't the amount of commercial breaks, but the fact they seemingly only have about 6 commercials to show. During 2 episodes of Star Trek yesterday I must have seen that damned James Bond Circut City commercial 30 times Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Electrifyer Report post Posted November 2, 2002 I also hate how they don't just have a million commercials, but they also have that little bar at the bottom advertising more shows. They should have less commericials if they have that bar at the bottom during almost every show. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My apologies if you're still in school or what have you, but getting a DVD player solves the whole having-to-sit-through-commercials thing for me. The other thing you do is get a PS2 (or XBox) which plays DVDs. And then rent like crazy from Blockbuster or NetFlix... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
