Canadian viewers of Seinfeld on Global Network complain that commercial breaks are placed awkwardly, disrupting scenes, and discuss organizing a complaint campaign to the CRTC.

I was wathing Seinfeld on the canadian "Global Network" last night, and I think they're messing with the placement of commercials. We had the first commercial after about 10 minutes (actually, I think it was a little less), another one a little later, and no commercials before the end segment of the show. The first one, in particular, seemed out of place. It's the second week in a row that this happens.

I can't watch Seinfeld on NBC, because according to regulations here, a series can't be shown on an american network if it is playing at the same time on a local station.

So I'd like to know from someone who watched it on NBC if the commercials were at their usual place. It might seem like a dumb complaint, but it really alters the feel of the show when a scene is cut in half by a "misplaced" commercial.

Perhaps we (canadians) can start a writing campaign of complaint to the CRTC. It may not cause the CRTC to make a change but Global has to answer the letters (I believe) and perhaps they will get the message.

Any takers?

I'll post the address and any info if there are enough people interested.

Global could get it!!!

Absolutely. I've already been looking for a web page for Global to complain about this, but couldn't find one. I'll write a letter any time (and I have a couple of friends who, I'm sure, will do the same. I find this practice of Global downright insulting. Seinfeld is about the only show I watch, but I wouldn't be surprised if they did the same with some of the other shows.
