When I moved from Denmark to the U.S. in 1983, I was initially annoyed about all the commercials on TV, especially in the middle of shows (at that time Denmark had no commercial television, everything was like PBS). But over time I realized that they are in fact a great benefit, for two reasons: 1) (most important) The one you just mentioned--you can heed nature's call without missing any of the show. 2) Commercials on commercial television are often much better than the shows they are in. As George Will once wrote, they are the most believeable part of television.
