I hate getting stuck watching commercials too. And you're right, you can breeze through a bunch of shows when you can skip the commercials. If I'm watching a live TV show I'll pause it for a few minutes just so I can fast forward through the commercials later. LOL. Richies – ah you’re hooked on taped shows like me!

I know- I hate reality shows ... well ok, I kind of like survivor but not as much as I used to .. the contestants on that show that are kind of fake quickly get a dose of reality once they've been there for a few days. I remember when I was a kid and teen watching TV. Sure there were some beautiful thin people on TV but it seemed like most actors/actresses looked like real people. People I might run into in my town ... but not these days. Three Cent Stamp.

The people on TV in both Spain and the UK in many cases aren't just average looking, some are even quite unattracive, a sharp contrast to the USA where everyone has to have modelesque looks...a travesty in more ways than one.

It really sets unrealistic expectations for everyone else, not to mention young girls who are already developing self image problems early on. But what I find the most frustrating of all is the stupid reality shows who make starts of dumb people with no real talent. Many of whom could be advertisements for plastic surgeons.
