So over xmas, I went to Kentucky to visit my girlfriend, and as we were watching Pretty Little Liars (No haterino) I noticed you guys have a commercial break every 4-7 minutes, whereas people in the UK have a commercial break only once on a 30 minute episode.

Basically saying, does the commercial break in US annoy you guys?

How long were the breaks though? In the UK it's about a 5 minute break in a 30 minute show.
Does it balance out?

I have always wanted to see American commercials, I would actually watch them instead of skipping them, just to see what you have over there!

You do not want to. Commercials every 3 minutes of a show is the worst thing ever thought of in the history of the world.

Its one reason why I went digital, I would rather watch 42 minutes straight of a TV show than 1 hour + commercials.

its around 9 minutes of commercials in a 30 minute show.
No it does not balance AT ALL.
