When would we go to the bathroom or the kitchen? Without
commercials we'd miss good parts of the show due to being out of the
room. It would be more accurate to say people would be happier if
TV didn't have so many commercials.

That must be why HBO and Cinemax were doomed from the start.

That must also be why the makers of DVD players and VCRs got rid of the
"Pause" buttons on their machines, 'cause nobody ever used them.
