One of the reasons I like British TV; the actors look like people. Even the “sex-pot” characters tend to look like everyday folks. On US TV, even the “homely best friend” characters (at least the female ones) tend to look smokin’ hot – often more so than the sex-pots (and, of course, on Brit cop shows, they usually solve crimes with their brains, not their guns).

Bingo! The whole idea is to make you feel inadequate.

Make you believe you are lacking, or missing something, then offer to sell it to you = Marketing.

If those people in commercials got any skinnier they would disappear.

Commercials are why I stopped watching TV back in the ‘70s. I even listen to Spanish radio stations, so I can’t understand the commercials.

I have TIVO, Amazon Prime, Netflix, and HBO Max. What’s a commercial?

Those commercials have been replaced with gambling commercials. They make me feel smart.
