As I watch my Tivo'd shows, I'm laughing because we are so used to this method of tv watching. The kind with no commercials. Or, at least, commercials with no audio and people moving really fast, because you are fast-forwarding through them. It has been this way for so many years now, that the kids know no other method. From the time Liam was a baby, we Tivo'd his shows, and we had ultimate control over the shows he watched, plus generally NO commercials at all because the Thomas, Barney, Dora kind of shows don't have commercials until the end of the show (before a new show starts), so they are not even recorded at all on Tivo. Thank you, Noggin Channel.
So I guess it was no big surprise the other night when we actually watched live tv (and I do not even remember what the show was - obviously not something good or we would have Tivo'd it), and every time a commercial came on, Natalie would yell to me, "Mom! It's doing it again!" I guess she thought the tv was broken, or at the very least that I could fast forward past it. Too funny. I do remember the first commercial Liam ever saw, and his face was transfixed on the tv like he had never seen such an amazing thing in his life. Or else he was afraid. He hates loud sounds, and they are always so loud, aren't they?
They will be so confused on Super Bowl Sunday when everyone wants to actually watch the commercials. What kind of witchery is this? And why is it so loud??
