Years ago, you could watch trials with few interruptions. Now, I've worn out the "mute" button on my remote. Not only are there commercials every 10 to 15 minutes, but they are the same commercials repeated over an over sometimes up to 6 times. Then, when the program finally comes back on, there is a lengthy "recap" by the tv host. They also say that they pause the proceedings so you won`t miss a thing. Seems they pick up somewhere in the proceedings after the "host" gets through the redundant details and or discussions with guest attorneys,
