    with Elizabeth Banks. I love it! It has a great beat and the theme song is "I'm not you."

    I didn't find it when I googled or I would share it with you.

    There are quite a few of her commercials for realtor.com on youtube, @Von Jones . What is the one about that you are watching ? Maybe if you check out the ones on Youtube, you can find the right one and share it with us.

    Hey Holly,

    Some time ago, I read that British TV networks run all their daily commercials together in the form of a long Infomercial, leaving the rest of the programming day free from commercial interruptions.

    Is this true?

    oooh we are lucky in a way Shirley because we have 2 of the main terrestrial channels BBC1 and BBC2..which run completely without commercials..that's the reason we have to pay for an annual TV licence, to cover the cost!! if they ran adverts we'd no longer have to pay for the licence which is approx £150 per year... BUT..I hate adverts and despite recording everything I watch on the other 600 plus channels to FF the ads, it's nice to be able to watch quality programming on the main 2 BBC channels without any interference or ad breaks..

    Do remember that adverts were limited to 2 minutes for every 15 min of screen time

    Which then posed a problem if an hour long American series was being shown as it only lasted for 45 min. they had to make up the lost time so we got a fill in of something else for 5 mins

    actually 3 minutes... but now we're subjected to anything up to 7 minutes..!! You can go and have a shower in the time it takes for an advert.. I hate adverts. Fortunately we're still not as bad as the USA we get only one advert per 30 minute show, and only 3 max 4 in a 90 minute movie...

    We have similar problems when they show the British TV series over here, as they take ALL the ads out and then they have to show fillers to fill up the time.

    Yep .. too many ads and not enough programing. It's almost to the point where there is more ad time ..and to that I say thank goodness for the fast forward button and the DVR. That is the only way I watch tv anymore.
