I've only left the east coast once in my entire nearly 40 years.

Did you happen to leave the east coast in 1995 and miss the commercial?

As a kid, I was allowed to watch two shows of my choice per week (I chose Power Rangers and Batman: TAS) plus what my parents watched (FRIENDS, Simpsons and Seinfeld). I saw clips of other shows in commercials and such, but didn't really see other shows until approximately 2007.

I didn't really see many commercials until then.
