Same here, but I'll go one step further to say that I don't want to watch any TV, or TV broadcast that is, from any country. This leaves me in a bit of a quandary for the news and things like late nite TV shows.
I just want to see the shows I want, without any station breaks, what's coming on next, commercials, or other advertisements. I don't have TV service and I've never owned a Tivo, maybe that would be a solution.
I detest how dumbed-down, over-exaggerated, sales-y, sensationalist, compressed, and intrusive they are. Such as "<recent event> - news at 11", or, the fillers that comes in around 10 minutes before the hour.
Anyone watching TV for some time is numb to this noise.
If you never watch TV, and are re-subjected to the noise, you realize how much unwanted noise you are subjected to, and how frequently you are being manipulated to - accept the breaks in programming, be baited about shows you would otherwise never consider, and be bombarded about food and other 'choices' which are never really good for you.
So, I just watch TV series and movies. Which is why I started this tread - to find new shows that don't suck.
