I'm so sick of listening to Joe Theismann, Joe Namath, Joan Lunden....well maybe not her, I think she's a lovely creature for her age(70) and her voice isn't as irritating as Namath's. They have been hawking the Medicare/Medicare Advantage wares for the last few weeks and today it ends. Now we can go back to our regular programming without hearing the Joe's sounding off like a carnival side show barker every few minutes. It's on every channel it seems.  Angry

On a different note...mostly, I was watching an old B&W movie of John Wayne(still with Namath's interruptions) last night; Tall In The Saddle. Who should pop up but grumpy, grouchy, bewhiskered, cantankerous, woman-hating old George Hayes, better known as Gabby Hayes. He spent a lot of time in old "B" westerns, mostly back in the black & white film days. Kinda fun watching the old coot live up to his character of old.  Grin

I too am weary of the constant barrage of Joe and Joe.  I've found it works best for me to record the shows and watch later when I can fast forward past the ads.

Me three.   cooldude

I've got an idea, how about stopping all TV adds for medicines of any kind.

The United States and New Zealand are the only two countries in the world where direct-to-consumer (DTC) advertising of prescription drugs is legal.    Why is that do you suppose?  Campaign contributions?

Hear, hear!

Joe Namath was really getting under my skin.  It was a rush for the mute button.  Almost as bad as the ultimate annoying salesman, Mike the pillow guy.

Nope,, the ads are still there.  I suspect they will be for at least the next few weeks.

The next question is, does everyone watching a specific channel/TV program, see the same ads???
