3 commercial breaks plus a commercial for AppJudgment...all squeezed into only a 20 minute show? Pretty ridiculous and annoying.
Even more unbelievable is Robert Heron seeing Gladiator dozens of times but not Braveheart even once. Tear up your man-card, sir.

So, you want no commercials and the show to be free. Maybe if everyone at Revision3 were volunteers and they all had other jobs.
If the show was on regular TV, each of the commercial breaks would be at minimum 90 seconds long or longer.
Be realistic and stop complaining about something minor.

It's pretty unrealistic for you to expect anything less. You do have the option to skip past them anyway if they really bother you that much.

I would agree that three commercials in such a short show is too much, but the solution is not to get rid of the commercials, but to make the show longer! Tekzilla works fine, and I am sure there is enough content, especially if they do more hands-on segments getting into details.

It's just annoying when such a short show (when it's 20 mins) ends up with so many adverts.
Personally I just skip any adverts I've seen already (GoDaddy/Netflix/Gamefly) unless it's on Diggnation. It feels like we've already been brainwashed into those 3 brands long enough!

You figure a 30 minute show on TV has an average of about 8 to 9 minutes of commercials. How many shows on TV are dedicated to talking about the latest and greatest HD hardware and software? We should be thankful these guys provide their input and reviews even if it means listening to a few advertisements. I wish I found this site sooner! Keep up the good work guys!
I do agree with vance though about the length of the show. There’s more than enough content out there to extend the show another 20 or so minutes. It would be cool if a Dolby Representative or someone that was involved in the restoration of a big film came on.
