The series starts again from the beginning on Wednesday. I’m happy that the series is on the air, but could it be on a channel with more intrusive and embarrassing commercials? Every break filled with ads for _The Real Housewives of Satan’s Asshole_. Bleagh.

Hm. I hope I’ll be around to catch some of it, then. Thanks for the heads up.

I watched all seven seasons on DVD about two years ago, courtesy of Netflix. The were wonderful but I don’t know if I could watch it with commercials now.

Commercial are bad enough. It’s the constant and intrusive on-screen promotional motion graphics that make me all stabby. Especially for the “Real Whiny Bitches of…” shows. Exactly how much over-lap do they think those embarrassments to the human race have with _The West Wing_?
