TODAY'S COMMERCIALS: WHERE'S THE DRAMA?



After almost a lifetime of obsessive compulsive tv watching, I am on a decidedly downward trend. I'm down to three channels and maybe 3 or 4 "Must See TV Shows." I've resigned myself to the fact that on a whole, tv sucks and my attention span isn't what it used to be, but I've realized that I don't even glean much entertainment from commercials anymore either.

Maybe it's just a heightened sense of nostalgia or the fact that I'd like to turn the clock back 20 years and do it all a different and better way, but why aren't commercials today as good as they used to be back in the day.

There's only so many times I can be entertained by that singing Free Credit Report guy.

Anyhoo, the above is the original British version of the Taster's Choice series of commercials that I was absolutely obsessed with.

I miss the drama and romance on full display here.
