All these channels and there's nothing on!

I was just thinking about how sometimes, when i'm flipping through the channels, can't find anything on i'm interested in. With the hundreds of channels i have, you would think there would be something i would wanna watch? Turns out more often than not, there isn't much on tv that really excites me. I think it may be all the commercials. I think commercials fill up so much dead air space, it's ridiculous. I once taped a patriots game, without the commercials, and i must say that it only took about about an hour worth of tape. The game usually lasts 3 to 3 1/2 hours. So that's like 2 hours of just commercials. I just think there should be some kind of limit to how much commercial time there is given to certain programs, or even all programs for that matter. Any thoughts?
