thanksSometimes the Ads are more entertaining than the programmes. That must be sad of me, if the programme is that bad why am I watching it?
But now and again you get those Ads that really stick in your mind and are excellent entertainment. For those in the UK remember the Carling Ads, always good to get to the sunbeds before the Germans

They are okay. If there weren't ads, there would eb only paid TV 
.
Besides, ads are kinda good at times.

i think ads are good only if they're short, quick and wich advertise somethign u need or want.
add are nasty, somtimes entertaining..... NZ has been widly recognised as the best ADD makers in the world, but it jus gets boring if u live here, lol. adds suck but previews etc r kool, but sadlyAdds pay for the TV to stay on the air.... 
most of the time I hate ads, some are funny but they are just too much. I like HBO cause it doesn't have ads when showing movies, but sometimes I have to go to the toilet and but, I really like the movie and I just hate missing parts of it.
I rarely watch ads. I have a DVR, so I start watching shows 10-15 minutes late and fast forward through them all. 
The ads are getting better and better, because people don't watch them otherwise. I think that's a good thing. Sometimes they are very entertaining indeed.
The very irritating thing about ads though is the fact that they mostly come with great noise, as if the volume of the channel gets multiplied ten times as soon as the ads come on. That sucks!

These days, I think there are good quality ads that are sometimes nice to watch. But I do hate ads when in during movies, tons of ads are played - really annoying.
Watch tv commercials with no sound. The scenes are so short and there is so much movement that's all systematic to appeal to your visual senses. Your attention is drawn to particular elements to peak your interest and buy into the product. McDonalds selling their product will have an unrealistically large burger filling the screen, and a waterfall of soda pouring into a giagantic cup 20 feet away.
Now turn the sound on and listen to the incessant chatter of the narrators explaining everything you're seeing, or giving a quick narrative of buzz words and exciting ideas, or rather, mundane, commercialistic ideas with an exciting tone of voice.
It's all meant to grab you by the balls and make you think you need whatever it is they're showing. Thus, because basic television seems like it is about 60% advertising, I just try to avoid TV entirely.

I voted 4, as (like mentioned) some ads can be quite entertaining. Mostly though, they suck balls and disrupt the show.
I hate ads, when the show is in a good part, it always go to commercials!!! GRRR blasted TV.
well, I can understand ads, but I hate them while the ads were playing between moives or TV shows
I hate ads for one simple reason they are a complets and utter waste of time, especially with the development of things like on demand and other programs such as TIVO that allow you to record your shows ahead of time so you can just skip the commersials.
Ads are pefect times to go to the toilet and/or grab a bite to eat.
Sometimes they can be quite funny...
I guess its a take a good with the bad kind of thing...

Ads arent bad on t.v, like they are on websites. THey are funny sometimes, and you only hear about good companies. Because cheap ones dont have enough money to pay for them.
I said 4. I dislike ads on TV, but I tolerate them. Most ads are annoying, and they do always interupt the programs at the so called 'good bits', but that isn't always a bad thing. When I'm watching TV with others it gives a chance to discus the program and predict what happens next etc. as well as the old traditional toilet-break. And of course, without ads paying for it, there would be no free to air-TV (except, of course, the ABC or BBC or whatever. Not that is bad, I do watch several shows on the ABC, but I watch more on the other channels because there are more shows to choose from.)
Incidently, the ration of TV program to ads is 2:1, which is kind of sad. There is only twice as much TV as ads. How do I figure this out? A commericial station will fit a 20 minute program into 30 minutes.

they aren't totally bad.. some ads are even funny or interesting to watch..
I hate them in any form. I have stopped watching TV 
but when I did watch it I just turned them off, they're awful.
but when I did watch it I just turned them off, they're awful.lol i just thought ... i think it's channel 4 or somthing lol... Watching the evening movie... and then omg..
'This movie will resume after the news' Like WTF!!.. 10 o'clock news dammit!.
dat really annoys me lol... cause if it's been a long day i normally fall asleep or something and i miss the end of the movie!! grr. I dont care whats on the news lol .. i just wanna know what happens next!!! lol

It reminds me of the whole "News at 10" debate, I mean, why is the news programme still so sacred? There are at least 10 news channels that run non-stop 24/7!
... but i never understand them. I H98 those damn crazy frog adverts, and the ones where a guy usually gets chased by a raging flower 
Everything about them is deliberate and manipulative. They put those "weird" plots in so you remember their ad.
I dont mind ad's on television, usualyl when they are on i just put that show in Picture in picture and watch something else. The only show that i am aware of without ads is a canadaian only show called chilly beach. That show rocks, because there are no advertisements 
The ads could be somehow entertaining if they weren't so boring. "Your clothes will look better when you use this"
All those commercials just suck

I hate ads too, although some can be a bit entertaining. Besides, if we had no ads on TV, we would have to pay for watching TV,(not buying TV itself but paying to watch programs). So i still watch ads because I want to watch TV.
Hi,
Most of the time, ads are about 5 minutes long... That's too much for me, so i would say 4-5.
Now, same question about ads on websites lol

You get nothing for free, Frihost has adds, and why?, to keep it up and running, TV needs ads to keep it up and running, what would annoy me is if I paid for something like Sky (Which still has ads) but I paid for surely paying for it is to cover the costs of the programming etc. so why would you need ads, I think we should pay for TV (The channels we want to watch) so unlike sky you pay for the package you would pay for i.e
BBC1
BBC2
ITV
C4
E4
etc.
but not the channels you didn't want
Price Drop TV
Bid up TV
QVC
YooPlay
ITV News
etc.
And have no adverts at all because all the programming and programs are paid for by the payment of your channels, much better cleaner system

I don't like the point of advertisements on television, but, the TV station has to get funding somewhere.
Oh, all of you HAVE to love this advertisement I found. Choose the download link for either Real Player or Windows Media Player, I just love it.

Not really....actually it's somehow beneficial for me. It could be treated as break time for a show/programme. I can rest my eyes or go to bathroom during the ads break.
Ads are fine. They're necessary to the industry, and aren't really that annoying, unless the show is on a super-long commercial break.
i thinks ads are ok... just think if no channels had ads like the bbc how much the tv license would be!
I don't like ads on TV as they are very annoying, especially when you are watching a nice film.
I especially hate ads with annoying jingles. At completely random times that annoying jingle pops up in your head, and it's just irritating... but I guess they made them like that so that you will think about their product. -_-
i really hate those films, where they have some breaks of 5-10 mins for ads, with jingles, long ads, many products and all this mess.
They are rather anoying, but not the most anoying thing out there though. Other dutchies might know how the channel SBS6 in example broadcasts entire news sessions during a 'commercial' break from a movie in example. To suddenly have the movie stop for 30 minutes like that... there's nothing more annoying than that.
Why have commercials become so random and bizarre? Half of the commercials on TV don't even show the product, which is so counter intuitive. I saw some insurance commercial a few nights ago that just showed whales for 30 seconds... it was the strangest connection.
I assume that the point is that I remembered that company - but I would never actually buy insurance from that company! The only things I buy I get because the product is great, not because of the weird commercial, so how not showing the product (or talking about it, in the case of the insurance policy) is improving their sales.

I dont mind the ads, sometimes they are very entertaining and they give me time to go get some food, take a bathroom break, or talk to my friends about the show.
Ads are pretty pointless on TV especially boring ones... like Viagra, <---- but some are good like let;s say they we're gonna give computer that has, 3.2 GHZ, 300GB HD, 2 GB Memmory l---- at Best Buy for like $600 lol... 
I've nearly stopped watching live TV altogether, first using a VCR, but now I have a DVR sattellite reciever, so I use that. 95% of the time I am watching shows I have already recorded, so I almost always skip the commercials. Sometimes I just let the commercials run though, since there is occasionally an interesting one.
You're on your way to becoming TV-free. Don't stop now, give all your equipment away to charity.
You won't believe how much better life gets when you stop watching.

Not really
I hate it when the station is showing a nice film, and I prefer ads than anything when I'm see my brother watch TV

Depend, most of the time I hate them because they cut you off from what you are seeing. Sometime I like them becuase they are cool.
the more ads in a program the more inclined I'm to download the episode
why ?
of course not, i like watching the advertisements on tv, but not the local one. In Hong kong, people do not know how to make the ads interestings... that's why the ads are intorlerant sometimes.
but i like watching ads from other countries. i even went to cinema to watch the foriegn ads series. haha

Commercials are inconvenient when I am watching tv...but...I work in tv station and that's where my pay comes from. lolol
I don't like the boring ads. I like the fun ones; either good music or funniness. Like the Terry Tate Reebok commercials. Those were cool. Seeing commercials on TV today that are from the 50s and 60s is very cool too.
I HATE paid programming. GAH! some of the things they come up are so lame!! like 10 in ones "for only 6 payments of 99.99!! what a deal!" omg..they're all the same -_-;;; some commercials i dont mind, but they get repetitive..thats when they get annoying
I pay for digital cable. I don't appreciate ANY ads. You tv people can't have it both ways.
Some add on TV is funny and inteligent. I like those kind of ads. Ads that are shown over and over is just boring.
i dont really hate ads becouse some of them are really good and funny but the thing i hate is when I am watching a movie and every half hour there are 5min of ads becouse you dont know if you are watching movie with ads or ads with a movie!
ADS ARE ANNOYNG
I dont't like tv ads.
They are really disturbing, especially when they pop up right in the middle of some really good television programs.
Well, sometimes they can be a bit funny also, after all.
I have to admit it
