Nightshade says:

Why don't the ad-men get wise. Graduated TV should be introduced. Those who allow commercials on their TV should be allowed free TV. Those who want to see only half of the commercials get to pay half-price for their TV. And those who want no brainwashing should pay for their TV viewing. That way, everyone will be happy - including the product hawkers.

NEW YORK - Some of the most creative thinking in television these days has nothing to do with comedy or drama. It's about the commercials.
