That is why recording and time shifting devices are so important to most. If one wants to watch tv, why not watch only shows one wants to see? Not only that, but one can "fast-forward" through the commercials. Can't beat that, right?
Bought my first time shifting device back in 1972, I chose a VHS over Betamax, and have since pretty much watched only programs I actually wanted to see.
If you don't have a DVR/Tivo or DVD Recorder? Might want to give it some thought. No more boring tv shows, and if there are? Just erase or delete them. Easy, eh?
