<<Yes, I feel so too. I remember television in the 1960's. No movie or tv show was interrupted by commercials.>>
Maybe a bit of rose colored glasses here - I am not sure about movies but didn't most regular tv shows still have commercials? Maybe not as many, and not as many breaks, but they still had them dispursed in the shows. Even the mentioned Bonanza and Star Trek, if you watch a dvd they have obvious spots in them where commercials would go.
But now they are getting really bad, I hate stuff like what TBS does to Everybody Loves Raymond, they run an episode, then cut out the credits so they can squeeze in another commercial, then start the next episode while squishing the picture up and running the credits from the PREVIOUS episode on the bottom of the screen! I'm suprised they don't just run two episodes side by side, then run a 1/2 hour of ads!
Also hate promo animations cable shows put on the bottom of a show all night long, those are very annoying and piss me off.
