THE GOOD AND BAD NEWS.

The good news about commercials on TV is we are seeing more and more bi-racial couples; more and more black actors; more gay couples, male and female; and more and more public service ads like the ones encouraging Americans to get their Covid vaccinations and avoid the possibility of  a lonely horrid death The bad news is, as I have stated below, there are far too many commercials on the tube. I suspect most are aired out of greed rather than necessity. The good news is many consumers can pre-record their shows and flip through the commercials or, like me, turn to a non-commercial station like TCM until the show returns. The bad news is many poorer viewers do not have that option and have to sit through the endless promotions for cars, pharmaceuticals, insurance companies, and all the other sales pitches they've already seen dozens and dozens of times. All I can suggest is that if you don't complain to your local station, you can expect even more commercials next year.
