Me, too, but the 5-minute commercials are unusual. I've only seen them on Hallmark, during Columbo. There are a few of them, one with Kathy Levine (former QVC host), and the one this a.m. with the bullied woman. There was another yesterday, but I can't remember anything about it. Btw, I know it's a 5-minute ad because it features a countdown timer in the corner. Maybe that's so people know they have 5 minutes to get a cup of coffee and visit the bathroom.

Why? So they can run 5 minute commercials for Nutrisystem. This a.m., one of the ladies in the commercial was crying because she was bullied for being a chubby child. The commercials are effective, but I wish they would buy their own infomercial time and stay out of Columbo. I absolutely love Columbo, but I never seem to catch it during the week.

configdotsys July 16, 2017 Share July 16, 2017 I'm watching some previously recorded DVR stuff and just saw the Boston Market commercial with the mother ordering food and then getting a crying call from her daughter about breaking up with her boyfriend and how her world is over. Mom says to the guy behind the counter, "Better add a mac a cheese. A large." The guy behind the counter-- who cannot hear the phone call-- makes this stupid nodding face at her and then mom, makes this smug, arrogant shake-face thing that makes me want to break my tv. Afterward, mom and daughter are seen eating dinner on the couch and the daughter-- who can't be satisfied that mom bought her comfort food in her time of woe-- but just has to ask in a voice that put me off, "Did you get dessert?" Omg, I hate that commercial. I used to like Boston Market but the portions there are tiny for what you pay. I'm not a big over-eater by any means, but even I would still be hungry after eating a meal there. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/45040-commercials-that-annoy-irritate-or-outright-enrage/page/283/#findComment-3462277
