Dang, commercials were looooooong in those days! I guess they could be -- there wasn't any remote control, and even if there had been there weren't many other channels to click to to avoid the ads.
Thank you for including the commercials. They really add a lot to the historical significance of these posts.
In those days, a sponsor like Buick preferred to limit their advertising in a half-hour program with a single two and a half minute "intermission", and a brief 30 second pitch by Jackie at the end of the show. Today, commercial time is so fragmented, I'm not sure advertisers [and there are DOZENS of them during every "break"] are actually aware of the fact that people "change channels" (or do "other things") when their commercials are shown in a "cluster" of 15 and 30 second spots...
If they did this in 2012, the Police SWAT Team would break down their door shoot their pet if they had one and then proceeed to shoot them both!

@matthias1949 Good luck. After nearly 55 years, these classic 39 episodes are shows for the ages.
Today's television does not hold a candle to this.
Happy Valentine's Day.
