Hello everyone.
I am 66 and this is all way over my head.
I am tired of paying to watch commercials.
Many of you may not remember when cable TV was proposed but the selling point was "NO COMMERCIALS" and it was $8.00/month. Now its north of $30 and there are more commercials than when TV was free. Go figure. I have timed blocks of commercials that reach 30%-50% of show time. Anyway if anyone can help us out it would be greatly appreciated.
Here's the plot.
