@tsarstepan,

How about on PBS stations where there aren't commercials during the showing?

@Sturgis,

That's probably 6.5 as you can't control when the film starts and ends. I don't have a DVR ... so pausing live tv (even when I do get a clear signal since I don't have cable is not an option. Plus, the PBS movies played are a limited selection (though often high in quality and quite watchable).

@Sturgis,

About 1 1/2 years ago, I cut the cord. I have Netflix streaming, Netflix discs and Amazon Prime. The news I get from the internet, and newspapers.

I never realized what a pleasure it was to watch a show without commercials. Yesterday I was in the hospital for an outpatient procedure. While I was waiting, There was a t.v. After about 15 minutes, I had to turn it off. The ads were too obnoxious.

I am watching the show "24" on Amazon Prime. I noticed something funny. All during the show there would be a notice of a time across the screen. A second later there would be another time, usually about 5 minutes later. I couldn't figure out the point of it. Then it dawned on me. What I was seeing were the commercial breaks, although I was not seeing the commercials.

For obvious reasons I suppose, nobody has mentioned the Method That Dare Not Speak Its Name.

Projection via colonoscopy? That's where they project the movie onto the wall of the appendix and live stream it with a second camera.

Can't say that I've ever had that experience before. They do shoot a couple times a year (mostly tv) in my neighborhood.

HBO's Girls used to be the most prolific. Elementary as well though I've never seen a single episode.
