Record and skip commercials. I rarely ever see one. When the local news comes on I wait 10 minutes and start at the beginning. This way I have banked time that allows me to skip the commercials. Anything other than the local news gets recorded and watched later on. For me, that’s very little, as I don’t waste my time watching a lot of tv.

Ditto. I especially detested the My Pillow commercials. OTOH there are entertaining commercials. Behold:

My provider blocks fast-forwarding commercials. I can mute them and look away from the tv. I’m a little slow at it, but getting faster. It takes me “Just like you.....” to grab the remote and press mute. I timed the ads on Fox news hour. There are 3-4 “My pillow” ads hour at 1 minute and 45 seconds per ad. No wonder they are so annoying. Next on my list are the “ Only pay for what you need!” and the iconic woman in white for Progressive insurance. She shows up all over the place. Example is the US postal “change of address” packets. I’ve got to have another cup of coffee and get back in control.
