I record what I want to watch, just so I can skip by that. However, every now and then I am doing something else, while still in earshot, and I must admit, some of the things they have to say, add an interesting aspect to the movie that I was unaware of. So it goes both ways actually.
I watch re runs of Law and Order on WE TV, the ads for the shows on that channel are WAY BEYOND filth!!! OMG the TV shows allowed on TV are disgusting, no wonder our country is the mess it is today!!!
