He's right.

They actually have breaks immediately before and after the credits, and while have breaks every few minutes in the programme.
I recalled 4 ad breaks through one episode of the goldbergs which is only a 25 minute show lol.
Although through revenge which is a 50 minute show there was 6 ad breaks each were about 1 minute 45 seconds long, i only know that as xfinity has a countdown at top of screen lol.Also on nbcsports live ad banners pop up at the top of screen quite often

It is possible to spend less time watching a US show that way, than via a UK TV channel, even though there are more adds.
This is true i use xfinity more than anything these days gone are my days of torrents (naughty i know).
