Here's a creative way to protest NBC shows and still watch TV. If you have a PC and IE7, add *.nbc.com to your trusted sites zone. (Don't forget to uncheck the box.) Then you won't have to watch any commercials. Seriously it works, IE7 won't allow auto transfers to the commercial site nbcuni.com if nbc.com is trusted.
I just want to point out that I've finally figured out how to leave a post! And... you're welcome.
"Steve Young explains why having Colbert and Stewart back on the air is an asset."
Actually, no. He says precisely the opposite, that C&S are hurting the cause of the writers by returning to work and earning AMPTP member Viacom revenue, viewers, and ratings without a deal in place. With them back on the air, even without writers, Viacom has that much less reason to return to the table.
Correction to my earlier post, looks like they fixed it. But if you add *.nbcuni.com to trusted instead of nbc.com it skips commercials.
