Well, this is unexpected.

Apparently, we like TV shows better when they're interrupted by commercial breaks. Seriously, the study was fairly thorough. It involved Happy Days.

This may revolutionize the way I watch America's Next Top Model. But...probably not. I can make it through a recorded episode of that show in about seven minutes, once I fast-forward through all the filler. I'd rather have the 53 minutes of free time than the incrementally greater enjoyment of girls hanging from trapezes trying to keep their legs straight for a picture. Or would I?
