Well it's my night off and tonight Hallmark showed a couple of my favorites from season one. During showing of The Reunion at 11pm PST about 35 minutes in they went into a commercial and I'm not embellishing that it quickly turned into a five minute infomercial for some cure all. Now I know they've got to pay the bills but this was something that should've been on at 2am in the morning when nothing is on not in the middle of regular programming. I hope this isn't the way it's going to be from now on on the Hallmark Channel but I'm afraid this might be a preview of things to come. I can handle the same old trailers for Hallmark movies and even most of the ads but this was different it was five minutes long and they were hawking a cure all.

I remember years and years ago when our local TV station first got off the ground that they used to have 5 minutes worth of commercials. This was not one big long commercial, this was ten 30 second spots. Thank goodness that was short lived as they started getting phone calls about it.

Hallmark also has informercials for some dermatologists skin care products. I think the amount of commercials has gotten ridiculous. I know commercials pay for the program but do we really need, 6 minutes of commercials (Yes I counted) at each break? And it seems they keep cutting out more and more from programs to fit in commercials. |
