Current Commercials in the U.S.

It's kinda' interesting because, for the most part, I don't watch TV live anymore. I record what I want to watch and then - on my schedule - I sit down and watch the shows. I really enjoy my DVR, although I have read some interesting articles on the impact of people doing what I do... *Don't watch commercials *We have lost the idea of 'shared viewing' ... I think there was another one, but I don't remember now...

Anyways, for the most part I don't watch commercials, but I will sometimes catch them, particularly if they are right at the start or end of the commercial break (since I haven't started/have finished 'skipping' through). I will say, there are some good commercials out there! There was about a 2 year gap where nothing was really all that great (ugh, I'm HATING the Super Bowl stuff - they are so dull!!! And a lot of medical stuff...), but some have really come back! In particular, I have been enjoying the Playstation 3 commercials. I have below my husband's favorite and my favorite so far:







Commercials that are currently my least favorite are the Ally Bank Commercials. Ok - if your commercial is bad, AT LEAST make sure that we know what you are selling. I just had to do a search to find what company this even was... Apparently a bank, although I don't see any in this area, so perhaps its an online one? I don't even want to look it up because I don't like there commercials so much. Maybe viewing once would be ok, but they are always on!!! Blah.
