commercials and some movie edits
on certain channels with movies or TV series
can be a big inconvenience at times indeed
. However sadly this is not the only channel
that does this on TV these days
especially in comparison
to some others that are way worse than others
( with one known best exception to me here TCM = Turner Classic Movies
unedited and commercial-free during an entire program - which is my #1. favorite channel ) .
The SyFy channel for example
which continually does with every movie or show
split screen & sped up end credits ,
and with whole scene segments unnecessarily removed
from certain shows completely
to continue just showing
excessively more commercials than need to -
very frustrating at times
.Of course I will only make one exception with this channel
when the Twilight Zone Marathons are on twice a year
and will watch this channel then
otherwise I hardly ever do the rest of the year
. IMPO - If I had to choose between these types of channels
( with less commercials & moderate edits )
to watch a movie or show that I really wish to see on TV .
Also knowing I may not see it on the other channels
because of it's unique category content to that channel
( or just not being shown on any other channel at all either ) .
My choices so far would be - COMET and MeTV .
Thanks so much WarrenPeace for your reply
. I'm also a MeTv fan. Mostly for Twilight Zone.
Yeah, and the crazy thing is, I remember when network TV showed a feature film with the ads, they somehow made it all fit in at 2 hours.
Now they take a 2 hour movie and can make it last 3 hours because of the gold dang commercials! Aaaarrrrrgh! Really?
. Also definitely appreciate your kind words and
your patience with my lengthy replies here as well
. Definitely agree with you here too WarrenPeace
. Just the other day I was watching one of the epic movies
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring 2001
on the channel FXX .
The time listed on the TV Schedule for this film was - 4 hours
. Of course I was watching this for background while I was online here etc.
and also have this movie on DVD anyway which the total time for it is - 2hrs. 58mins.
( so did this channel just use up an entire extra hour for just commercials ?
- that's so crazy and just overly wasteful of a timeslot as well
- " I Don't Get It "
and perhaps I never will either
) . Thanks again WarrenPeace for your reply
