As for me, I despise all commercials for the most part but I really want to strangle that red-headed chick from the Progressive Ins. ads. So I am in complete agreeance with A-Dono about those.

Kaye and I rarely watched TV, so in October of 1985, when high winds blew down our TV antenna, we decided to not put up a new one.
Then, in late '86, we noticed that there were going to be a number of programs on TV (ESPN) about the competitors in the up-coming America's Cup races in Perth, Australia. So we subscribed to cable in order to watch them.
After the races were over in January of '87, we noticed the Arts and Entertainment channel. They had some excellent programs so we continued to subscribe to cable. But in June of '87 the cable company discontinued Arts and Entertainment, so we discontinued cable TV . . . and haven't watched TV since.
DVD's and video's yes. Regular TV . . . no.

But I don't understand John's reference, though.:o
