CBS
I’m really, really excited for CSI to start its new season tonight. Now, if you know me well, you may be wondering why… because I don’t actually watch the show.
Well, my excitement has very little to do with the show actually. I’m excited for CSI to start because it means I don’t have to watch the stupid ads for it anymore. I think I’ve seen the commercials for the new season about 10 thousand times by now and I am so sick of them. Seriously, I think they show one during every single commercial break on CBS. Is this really necessary? It’s the most watched drama on TV, why are they wasting so much money on these ads?
I know I should stop whining in this age of the DVR, but, honestly, I do watch a lot of TV live. Besides that, they always put them right at the end of the commercial break, so when you over fast-forward and have to go back to make sure you didn’t miss anything you end up right in the middle of that frakking CSI ad. Is anyone else having the same CSI commercial overexposure that I am? It’s driving me crazy… crazy!!!

No…I’d rather watch hours and hours of the CSI commercial than see one more lame political commercial…I don’t watch CSI, and I don’t want to…but a commercial every 5 minutes is better than a political ad. Gag.
Speaking of commercials….if networks REALLY WANT ME TO WATCH THEM then they need to stop turning the damn sound up so friggin high during commercial breaks! I cannot watch live TV for this very reason. Its unnerving to be contentedly watching Bones and then have someone screaming at me to buy a truck. They wonder why we want to skip them. It’s difficult to fathom, isn’t it?
Absolutely agreed, especially about the SHOUTING COMMERCIAL ADVERTISEMENTS. I gave up “live” TV years ago because of that.
I hate the commercials.
If this really IS the season that “everything changes”, then we’re going to be watching something like “How I Met Your Mother”, right? New cast, new location, comedy instead of drama, etc.
I was excited for the new season of CSI, but then St. Louis’ CW11 wanted to do a little sneaky experiment and push all their shows and hour back, so I have to juggle between Grey’s, Smallville, and CSI. Luckily there’s TV online, but CBS is actually bad at that I must add. If anyone has noticed, they seem to forget to put up the new episodes of their shows that people actually watch…Big Bang Theory, Two and a Half Men and some other ones.
