Isn't it supposed to be WATCHING television?

I’m getting a little peeved at my favorite television channels. Since I work in radio, I know more than most how competitive the media industry is these days, but television is getting ridiculous.

Here I am watching my favorite cheesy television show (no, I’m not going to share the programs with you, I watch way too much tv) and right there over the character’s face is what must be AN IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT.

So I take my eyes off the show and my mind follows as I read: IT’S HELL IN THE KITCHEN WEDNESDAY….ARE YOU WATCHING HELL’S KITCHEN???

Well, uh….no. I WAS trying to watch Project Runway (or whatever show it was) until I was so rudely interrupted.

I actually SPOKE to my television last night and scolded its network for doing that. I said, “Hey, you’ve ALREADY GOT ME WATCHING…! Why are you still trying to sell me???”

I understand we’re a fast-paced, demanding society of over-indulged individuals, but is it really too much to ask that the network save their commercials for the commercial break?
