French TV

I heard that French commercials were a lot more abstract than American ones, but I haven't found that to be true at all. I've found a lot of American TV shows here, especially on the Disney channel, that have been dubbed over by marvelous (no exaggeration, think about the work that goes into voice acting for a completely different actor!) actors. They're shows that I wouldn't normally watch because they had no appeal for me, but being as how I'm listening to them in French now, that helps my French skills. Which makes the shows somewhat useful (I'm so harsh when it comes to American TV. There's so much uselessness therein.). But one fabulous thing that I've noticed recently, et exuse-moi si je me suis trompée (excuse me if I'm wrong) but there are no commercials during the programs! I thought that the shows I was watching were shorter, but then I realized that the commercials are only before and after the programs. How cool is that?
