Commercialism Off The Charts

I would really like to see some popular bloggers address the annoying way that Bravo takes commercialism to a new level.  Most hour long television shows are actually about 40 minutes due to commercials.  Up to last season Bravo was throwing in an extra commercial in the middle of every episode.  That was incredibly annoying already - I am positive they make enough $$ that they don't have to wring out those extra few cents.  But this year they have managed to make something annoying into something intolerable.  Now the last ten minutes of every episode is 99% commercials and preview for the next episode.  At this point I think I may as well just stop the recording at 50 minutes because that is when the show actually ends.

It really isn't enough that if we care to watch we are forced to sit through every single housewives own personal infomercial for whatever crappy product they are currently hocking?  From ear stabbing singles to jewelry we should get out of the 25c machine to mass produced purses with a personal label glued on - there seems to be no real end to the greediness that may soon become the tagline for Bravo.  'Watch What We Sell Next'

Honestly is this a television network or is the television show just filler in between Home Shopping Network?

 I'd love to hear what other bloggers think of this greedy tactic.
