It is the same here, that's why payTV always seems to have less ads or when they do have them they usually are just promoting other shows/channels. But new episodes of NCIS is on a free channel so it gets the longer ads. I compared it to SVU last night & SVU had longer ads & more ads, which I thought it did. I know it is a different day, but same time slot & channel so I think I'm right in saying that NCIS is pretty good when it comes to ads. Sadly one of the ads last night was for NCIS - I don't want to say goodbye to Cote/Ziva
(the ad tells you to get ready to say goodbye to her & that she's one of the most loved characters on TV), even if I have already seen the episode
