I can't think of ever watching a commercial-free program in the U.S. I remember how angry I was when the live broadcasting from the Olympic Games Opening Ceremony was interrupted by commercials just as the Czech Republic team, which Jeff and I were looking forward to seeing, was entering the stadium during the procession of the athletes. I left the room and never came back to watch the rest of the ceremony. Hi Viktor,
