I love it when people ask me, "have you seen that funny commercial where the guy blah blah blah..," and I get to answer, "no, I don't watch commercials anymore. I have TiVo."

Maybe that's why the commercials are getting better. Sometimes my husband and I enjoy the commercials almost as much as what we're watching.

Some commercials today are more clever and entertaining than the shows.

Enjoy "fast-forwarding" while you got it. Maybe they'll invent a machine that fast-forwards you past the cash register after you get your food at McDonald's. Northing's free.

I'm with you, I use a DVR from brighthouse, and I only watch commercials if they are in something I watch live. The only things I seem to watch live, now, are political, so I don't see too many commercials in the State of the Union.

I'm a recent TiVo convert (about 8 months) and I tell everybody it really changes the way you watch TV. I don't watch anything on time. I usually wait until about 20 minutes into the program then play it. Either that or program it and watch the program the next day.

Yup. We bought a vaccuum cleaner, and they asked if we were buying it because we saw the funny commercials for it. We hadn't. This is a sweet time for us TiVo users, one that will probably come to an end within a few years....

Let me one-up you.

We don't have TV.
