Do you get confused with TV ads as part of the program???

This is not earth shaking, but am I the only one? Do you get confused by TV ads, you think are part of the program?
You're sitting there , watching a TV program. Then there's this confusing part that you can't figure out. Until you realize you're watching a commercial.
You are used to a "break" in the program. It's a TV thing. Kind of like: "It's Pamala's baby, or is it??", Ta Dum Da, Commercial.
The TV show stops in mid scene, and commercials don't always start with a big cartoon dancing fish. There's no "Ta Dum Da" thing.
It's a good program, and then you're wondering why this new character is having trouble paying for his mother's funeral?-life insurance.

Never happened to me. Are you staying focused on the TV show, or are you doing other things that may momentarily distract you as your show breaks and the commercial begins? If you are paying close attention to the show, I can't imagine you would not see the (obvious) break to commercial run. If you are feeling confused, as you watch a TV show, you might want to consider having a vision and hearing test and, possibly, talk to your MD. Hopefully, you're fine.

Yeah Fuzzybuddy. I've been taken in by that a few times.

I probably should complain but I have to think it's very clever the way they do it.

Sneaky, but forgivable.

No. The people and situations in the ad are always totally different from what's going on in the program. I agree with Treeguy's advice.

In the middle of a run of commercials, often they'll switch back to a scene from the show. It's only an advertisement FOR the show, but it gets me every time. I'll cut the sound back on again and then DRATS! FOOLED AGAIN! I'm afraid it's easy to fool me these days.
