Is it just me, or are there more commercial breaks that we had last year?

I definately thought about that last week. It's kinda irritating.

If you pay attention, (and a recorded ep doesn't hurt), there is a pattern to the commercials. They come in 1 or 2 segment blocks with CW network stuff signalling the end of each block. They also alternate between 1 block and 2 blocks of commercial at each break. This last break was one block, the next will be 2.

If I am wrong, ridicule at will.

They have to pay the bills, but while there are more breaks, the breaks are shorter. You still get your 45 minutes every week.

It started getting longer when they had such great ratings last season. Tonight seemed worse than premiere night, yes. Worse than ever? No.
