	I have been a Saturday Night Live fan for years, but most of the
time I tape it because that show seems to have the worst commercial-to-program
ratio.  One night I actually measured the commercial time with a stopwatch,
and it was 13 minutes per hour, which I believe exceeds network guidelines
(9 minutes per hour max?).  That sucks.
