Oh how I love the 30 second skip button on my DVR...

I love that 30 second skip button too! It's amazing sometimes how many time that I have to hit it to miss all of the ads though. I think that during Grey's Anatomy last night there was a 4 minute commercial spot. It was at least 3 1/2 min. Unbelievable. College Football is the worst for ad time. But I watch those games live or not at all.
