without commercials I have peace and sanity.
When I haven't taped a show where I can fast-forward through the commercial, in live watching mode, a low grade entertainment can be had by muting it and watching captions during the side effects disclaimers.
Take Brand X medicine to cure that skin rash, etc and face possible "urgent need to go to the bathroom", "increased blood pressure", "liver and kidney problems", and the ever famout "in some rare cases, death." All for some minor ailment?
