Are there always this many commericals on TV?
I'm not much of TV viewer, but I have been watching the Olympics this weekend. Are there always this many commercials or is it excessive since NBC pays so much to get the Olympics?

3. Yes...the channel that turns a 90 minute movie into a 4-hour "event."

4. No cable here. At least I'm not paying for commercials

6. Or SciFi, Spike, AMC
It's the editing the guts out of the films to make time for the ads that's enraging.

5. The coverage is pretty bad.
But if it wasn't cross country skiing, it'd be Daytone qualifier laps. :boring:

I now know who the official investment company, soft drink, vehicles, etc of the Olympic team is.
