The way I see it, NBC is treating the country like everyone in it is brain dead. This whole "...will be back in one minute" thing for the first commercial break is ridiculous. For the rest of whatever program you are watching, the commercial breaks get longer and longer as it goes. Last night, the last scene of New Amsterdam ended six minutes before the hour, making you think that they would have a little more after the break. Then they showed solid commercials to fill the time.

It just seems silly to me to make a fuss over a short first break when you are still going to have the same amount of time in commercials throughout the show. Don't they know we are just fast forwarding through the commercials no matter how long the break is?
