I haven't had cable for about 4 or 5 years. I never really watched much TV to begin with, even growing up. Commercials piss me off. They're so incredibly fake and I can't remember a time where I watched one and actually wanted to buy the product advertised. I don't understand the dancing and singing for cars or yogurt or deodorant. Who the hell would do that? The "catchy" songs just make me cringe. It's like if grandma wanted to make a commercial but was trying to be "hip" and "with it," except that's just about every commercial. I don't really find TV to be engaging enough, most of the time. I get bored pretty quickly, so I usually only check out a movie or show when I'm at work. I don't watch sports and just watch Netflix if I need to see something. If it's not on Netflix, I have a galleon out back that I can hop in and sail the seas.
The worst feeling in the world to me right now is "oh my god they're about to cut to commercial". I've lived for the past eight years without watching a single live TV channel broadcast or radio broadcast. Right now I'm staying at my in-law's house and they have cable. Watching a movie in FX or some other non-premium channel is just excruciating. How can people deal with commercial breaks?! It's impossible! I mean I follow baseball religiously and even then when a commercial comes on MLB.tv just shows "commercial break in progress."
