Being nserted in regular tv programs.

Late at night?? I end up falling asleep during those and never find out who the murderer was.

All day on the cable channels not the regular network channels.

I'm in the metro DC area and I've often seen infomercials on our network channels, mostly on weekends.

Ok, I have to agree with this one. I'll be watching a regular program, and it feels like someone switched the channel to one that goes to all infomercials after a certain time of night.

The first time it happened, I had no clue what was going on. It's annoying!

I get my DC network channels via satellite on DirectTv. The programming is really strange, isn't it? I usually check to see if there's any sports on during the weekend, but it's hours of infomercials. I was really mad when the World Figure Skating Championships were nowhere to be found on the network channels.

Are you referring to something like this? I watch the show White Collar, produced for a cable network. They feature cars from a certain manufacturer. Often during an episode some of the features of the car will be discussed by the two main characters. I call it "filler dialogue" for the sponsor.

I only watch a few weekly tv shows and none of them have infomercials. There are channels that are devoted to these types of products, 24 hours a day but I wouldn't be watching them.

I watch Discovery ID late at night sometimes and there will be a mini Cindy Crawford skincare infomercial that goes on forever.

Yes, that commercial with Valerie Bertinelli? Annoying.
