TV ads.
Aug 16^th, 2017 at 10:17am

am over seeing this commercial for a new program about clever kids.........its been shown for what must be two months now on channel 7...

we must have seen every act by now....I was really looking forward to watching it.. but now I could scream...its like being tortured same shots over and over.....how much are we expected to endure....

I find it a real turn off...and amazing abuse of their viewers...

stop doping it channel 7 unless you wan t people to leave as it is I see where Hells Kitchen is a bit turn off...so serve them right.

Reply #1 - Aug 16^th, 2017 at 10:22am Kids shows don't really do it for me and calling Marco's new show Hell's Kitchen I think was a huge mistake. There is already a show called Hell's Kitchen with Gordon Ramsay and it is also aired on Channel 7. Why have 2 shows with the same name? I will forego both and stick with The Block this season.

well these are very talented children and I have a very talented grandson so yes I would watch it....but I am now over it...the bombardment of ads is too much more than too much....

hells kitchen doesnt make sense to me they dont actually cook...all they do is serve and are too stooopid to do that....it seriously doesnt make any sense at all...

yes but then the block also has serious credibility.... they even shut down a house yet it still ends up finished..mmmmmmmmmmm..

I am surprised how dumb they are! did you see the geography test...omg..

The Australian Hell's Kitchen is very funny. Most cooking shows only have aspiring and potentially good cooks competing, but this show portrays these ego blown characters with their abysmal cooking skills which is very entertaining. I hope it gets good ratings and has the potential for another series next year.

I have rarely seen a TV ad for years because I rarely watch TV live except the occasional ABC program.
I pre-record nearly everything I want to watch so I can pause for a phone call or something to eat or drink.

Now I wonder if I am losing touch with what's going on by doing this. Should I submit to an occasional binge of ad viewing to catch up with the world?
I don't watch any TV news either because it's mostlyssensational stuff with pictures. I prefer to scan through a lot of online news.
Is this an escape from reality too?

Know the enemies of a civil society by their public behaviour, by their fraudulent claim to be liberal-progressive, by their propensity to lie and, above all, by their attachment to authoritarianism.

Reply #7 - Sep 10^th, 2017 at 12:43pm I cannot abide the pro-Muzlim ads, like the SBS cute little giggling head scarfed soccer girls. "Australian by birth, Muzlim by Faith." Australia's secular nature is under threat from this type of appeal to our tolerance. I stress our tolerance, not theirs. Advertising religion should be illegal.

What can you tell us about them and do you have one?

Use something like this - just setup programs to record everything you watch - you can do one-off, weekly, daily, weekdays only, etc. recordings and tape two shows at once.

It will even group the same shows together under a folder for you so you know which ones you've already watched and which are the latest recordings.

When you're watching a recording, use the 60-second jump button to skip through the ad breaks - three clicks usually does it.

You can also "time-slip" - start watching something while it is still recording. If you start about 20-30 minutes"late" by the time you catch up by skipping the ads you'll find you arrive at the end just as the show itself finishes.

I've had one for quite a while now and it seems really weird if I'm forced to watch regular TV and sit through ad breaks now.
