I just want to go back to a time when shows built in pause moments for commercial breaks. Watching a video get cut off mid sentence in the middle of an intense scene to be told about how I can send money worldwide just kinda kills the mood.

Or when you're watching an old show that has those pause moments... but they don't use them and just break whenever

Now that you mention it...Very noticeable with older animation content.
