Fortunately, I have the DVR so we usually record most of the programs my husband and I watch so we "fast forward" the commercials.

One thing I have noticed tho; is the amount of alcoholic beverage there is on many of the programs; usually someone is walking around with a drink or some type of alcoholic beverage; especially if they are either enjoying a get together or stressed; whichever. I remember a while back, the movies, programs had tried to lessen both the alcohol and cigarettes; now they all seem to be reappearing. I'm afraid it also makes it look more acceptable for the younger generation. As a former 2 1/2 pack a day smoker; there still is a craving, at times, like a wave passing through me.
