I used to see commercials for acne products on television all of the time. I’m guessing that industry is changing, as are many others, because I don’t see many commercials for those types of products any more. Rather than commercials people are turning more and more to the internet. There are now websites devoted entirely [...]

Some companies are feeling the economic pinch as much as individuals like you and I. I’ve stopped seeing some commercials and others have changed.  One type of commercial that seems to be going strong is those commercials for cheap life insurance for senior citizens. I don’t mind these much, as far as commercials go – [...]

I used to see commercials for home security systems on television all of the time, especially the wireless alarms. I haven’t seen any lately and am wondering if their sales are down due to the economy. I’m very pleased with the system we got and am surpruised more people don’t have them. Maybe you can [...]

I’ve noticed that I haven’t seen any television commercials advertising great travel deals in a while. I think a channel of nothing but special offers and last minute deals would be well received. It would have the ability to show pictures and videos of the destinations. And people love to save money so they’d definitely [...]

The latest promotional tactic that I’m seeing on television is advertising in the corners or on the bottom of the television picture. You know the kind. On TNT during a race sometimes a guy or a tire runs across the bottom of your screen. The first time I saw it happen it startled me. I’ve [...]

You know Jarrod Fogle, the Subway guy, I haven’t seen him doing any commercials for the popular Subway franchise in a while now. I think the last one I saw was during Nascar season. With the economy being what it is I think eating out is a luxury that many people aren’t going to be [...]

I used to see legal commercials on television all of the time. In our area there was a rather unsavory, slick looking man with an annoying voice speaking fast and yet somehow saying nothing, just offering a phone number. He used to mention specific types of cases related to dui, being hurt on the job. [...]

Am I the only one who’s seeing less and less automobile commercials? It used to feel like every other commercial on television was for an automobile. I used to see Honda, Toyota, Kia and Nissan ads constantly. I understand trimming the fat with a little Fenterdren, but I’d think now more than ever ad execs [...]

I’m starting to get a bit excited. I’ve been seeing more and more commercials for fall shows airing, mostly in prime time. I wonder how many pens the writers went through trying to explain things – the growth and aging of castmembers, current events, scenery, pretty much everything. It will be interesting to see.

Our old bathroom is pretty old, almost forty years old. Almost everything in there including the sinks, the toilet and the tub need replacing. RB saw some commercials for Bath Fitter and thinks we should look into it. I think he’s crazy. Bath Fitter doesn’t actually replace anything, they just put new custom covers over [...]
