Dear TBS, please stop with the FrankTV commercials

I don't understand why TBS feels the need to show the same commercials over and over.  Do they not understand the concept of ad fatigue.   At this point, I'm beyond not wanting to watching FrankTV.  I'm at the point where I would like to see Frank Caliendo hit by a flying DIsh Network satellite dish and decapitated.  

This goes for Dish Network as well.  It's as if they don't want new subscribers.  Who is watching Frank do Donald Trump (a detestable human being if there ever was one) for the 297th time in a game and think, "Hey you know what?  I think I want Dish Network now."  

Please, even if there are 18 versions of these FrankTV ads, it doesn't mean anyone is going to watch that show.  Because by now, we've seen all the characters and none of them are funny.

Frank TV (#1)

  I will definitely not be watching this show because Frank is really not that funny. I sort of enjoyed his rendition of John Madden and the way John couldn't have enough Turducken. His only other people I enjoyed watching him act like were Charles Barkley and George Bush. His skit about Barkley and the way pronounces words was pretty hilarious. His version of Barkley saying the chinese leader's name "KIm Jim Wu", was too funny. Of course his George Bush impressions are very good I think and is in my opinion the best of his characters.    

I don't get it... (#2)

The guy's voices are pretty good, I'll give him that. but to me it only works when you can't see what this guy actually looks like. He looks so ridiculous when he tries to dress like Bush, or Seinfeld that it's just ruined no matter how dead on he is with the voice. Short and stubby doesn't give him a lot of options.

TBS is almost unwatchable with all the self-promoting of some of the worst shows on television (House of Payne, Bill Engvall, etc.) If it wasn't for Family Guy, Office and My name is Earl reruns, I'd straight up block it, baseball be damned.

Dish Network
