You know I too remember hearing way back in the 1960s when cable tv was in the "discussion" stage that, since we'd pay up front to hook into the cable, there wouldn't be any commercials!!
I never knew anyone who had cable tv (or satelite) until 1998-ish. I was amazed that they had to watch commercials....why are we paying so much per month to be advertised to? I hate it but I'm hooked on having the tv on while I'm home alone.
