For the past year and a half, I've basically been watching Netflix. Either through my laptop or my TV via Roku. Recently added Amazon Prime. I've gotten so used to watching movies or TV shows on my own schedule - that it's a jarring experience to watch regular TV with all those commercials.

I don't care that the TV shows tend to be a year behind. Who cares? I just watched Season 5 of Mad Men that is about two years old but to me it was fresh and new. I don't need to sit through 14 minutes an hour of ads just to see the shows now that I can just as easily watch a year from now. In the meantime, there's plenty to see.

We have been without traditional TV for over a year now. Son hooked up the antenna to watch Sunday night Fox the other night. I nearly couldn’t sit still through all of the political ads.

Even listening to the radio drives me nuts. More commercial than content. If I could get into it, I would wait for podcasts.
