Most programs here have long commercial breaks every half hour.
Interesting to know Alberta is like that. I've never been there.
Just kidding. Yeah, my parenthetical rant was a bit of an exaggeration. The first thing you notice in a place like Germany is that you have to sit through a rerun of "Hogan's Heroes" in its entirety without a break. Seems annoying. But obviously during a two-hour movie there are breaks. At least in the parts of Germany and Netherland I have lived in.
I can't remember how they do it in Canada. Even though it's our second-closest neighboring country, and I have been there many times, I can't remember paying much attention to what's on TV there. But this is a bit off topic. I just thought it was interesting the way you interjected immediately that Mormons are not prots. I found that on more than one occassion the hard way as well, and have been excoriated by mormons for grouping them thusly. "Hey, man, we're not protesting anything! Got that?" Er, okay, I can see why you people shun caffeine. Clearly you don't need it.
Actually, Lewis is from Germany. He's just got that avatar up because of the Canadian election on Monday.
