We cancelled our cable in 2007 and have never been happier.

For example, Wikipedia states current shows are between 18-22 minutes long with 12-8 minutes of advertising. So for the worst offenders (looking at you TruTv), you're getting awfully close to a 1:1 ratio of content to ads.

Combine generally stupid shows/networks, extreme ad times, in a $60/month "basic" package and no thanks, life is too short.
