Yet another reason why I only watch one hour of TV a week, while my son watches enough garbage to rot the brain. TBS has gone way too far. There are too many inane commercials as it is, and I, for one, hate all commercials equally.Bobbihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09811052214476084105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-859290034031232542.post-13959385883981607182008-06-05T14:15:00.000-07:002008-06-05T14:15:00.000-07:00Hmm, good point.

Inoffensive, too, unlike the Engvall crap.<BR/><BR/>It's never a good sign when people's reaction to your advertising is to switch the channel...and never come back.Fletchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17299302086449086987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-859290034031232542.post-28362819224830985362008-06-04T14:35:00.000-07:002008-06-04T14:35:00.000-07:00I witnessed this myself yesterday, and was also as...I witnessed this myself yesterday, and was also astounded at the audacity of whomever it was that decided this was acceptable. On top of the 'never would I dream of this happening' show pause, they also had several 'take up half the screen' animations of Bill Engvall and his family playing frisbee.<BR/><BR/>If this were some new, groundbreaking show, or a returning cult favorite or something, maybe (<I>big</I> maybe) I would shrug it off, but it's the second season of a really unremarkable family sitcom.
