During our time off from work and school, everyone likes to catch up with television programs. After a few minutes of watching, the program cuts off to a long and annoying series of commercials. These ads often interrupt during the best part of a series and it takes our valuable time away from watching our shows.

People are only emotionally invested in their favorite characters, not what they want to buy at the store.

Once viewers begin watching an episode, they are only focused on what's going on. No one wants to be interrupted when watching television. Unfortunately, commercials are like that one friend who always calls at the wrong time. According to AdSavvy, television ads need to be fixed in order to form an agreement with advertisers and viewers. People do not want to see ads because they want to indulge in drama instead.

Instead of laughing or crying with friends, viewers have to struggle through obnoxious advertisements. There are many known companies which have featured long and annoying commercials, and they are not going away. The advertisements use actors that claim to be real people and make us believe that the product is worth buying. If you want to spend the weekend without interruptions from stupid ads, turn off the television for a while and watch a movie with friends.

Many television junkies would rather switch to a less frustrating option when it comes to binge-watching their shows. Streaming platforms would be the best choice to make. There was a report about a new streaming service that's arriving next year which may have an impact on the basic cable ads we see on television.

The amount of time that viewers spend watching commercials instead of the programs that they want has become a huge problem, and this will soon result in the inevitable downfall of cable. If you are planning to sit down and enjoy an episode or entire series (if you did not make other plans for the day), just be prepared for that commercial break. You can close your eyes, grab a snack or use the bathroom. Do whatever you can to make sure you and your friends do not miss your favorite shows and prevent television from taking control of your weekend.
