It is most definitely not a conspiracy. Shows run commercials every 15 minutes give or take, they run two sets in the last 15 minutes. Sports is a different animal because the action is fluid, so there’s some consternation there, but once you know the pattern, you know why both stations have commercials at the same time. 😉
When I was in southern Spain, they had ad breaks that literally lasted 25-30 minutes. There were times we had a whole meal during the breaks!
I don’t know whether that was a good way to do it or not…
I usually will switch back and forth, then rely on a third channel “back up” or a magazine. Need to learn how to relax and meditate during the muted commercials, I suppose!
Gah!!! Hate hate hate those moments!
…and they always put them on just as the film/program’s getting exciting/interesting
I’m pretty sure they synchronize on purpose. So you’ll have to watch commercials.
They evil evil I tell ya!
Agreed. It’s another conspiracy.
That’s usually when I take a bio break and run back to see which commercial finished first.
Not only men have these problems;)
thats so true…..

Men. Tsk tsk. 🙂
This made me giggle… It’s scheduled like that, for sure. I appreciate you following my blog.
Gah! I was just wondering how much longer I will hold on to my sanity what with all the switching of channels.

That’s a woman problem too!
Ah yes, the perils of multi-tasking…
And it’s the same commercial.
