On the rare occasion when I watch an American series on the TV -- whether drama, soap, or inconsequentia -- approximately mid-way between two commercial breaks I notice there is a cut that seems to make no dramatic sense. It feels like a curtain of intermission. Then I realize that in the country of origin not only are the commercial breaks longer, but there are twice as much of them.
They are a good time to mush your laundry about, move wet stuff to dryer, check dryer to hang whatever's dry enough, or apply Replay or Tivo to get them out of the way. U.S. TV is tough. Hee-hee. There's a rhythm in the dance. I don't know how they get broadcast in Finland.
I'll watch for the cut, though. Some shows run two or three story lines at once. It gets a little confusing once you've stopped the TV to sort, mush, or hang the wash. Come to think of it, it's time for me to watch TV again. I may get laundry done.
