If more commercials were appealing I would probably watch more of them. I do, after all, love to watch the commercials during the Super Bowl. But what I don't like is seeing the same commercial repeated three times during the same show AND shown every night for 4 months.If you are a company still airing commercials that were produced a year ago, you've got problems!

If you are a company still airing commercials that were produced a year ago, you’ve got problems!

Despite the comment already made here and often made elsewhere, TiVo owners DO watch ads. All you have to do is catch our eye. Make the ad entertaining, I'll watch. Make it offensive, I won't.Not that this theory has worked well in the music industry (for some unknown reason Madonna still has a career...) but hopefully this will lead to not only quality shows being made, but quality commercials.

I suppose a rare few catch my eye when using "double fast forward" but not many... But who uses a tivo AND watches ads?
