I don't, but I sure would like one too!
Regarding commercials; this is not a TV issue, but a movie one. I took my dd (13) to the movies to see "If I Stay", and while it was maudlin, and had mature content, it wasn't too terrible. It got us talking a lot about sex and relationships and stuff like that, and actually turned out to be pretty beneficial (my kid is not normally a feeling-sharer).
BUT, the previews for that movie were HORRENDOUS! Torture-type horror flicks (think "Saw"), truly awful. She likes Supernatural, The Walking Dead, The Originals - so she's not super squeamish or anything. But during those previews, she told me "I'm going to have nightmares tonight!" A couple of weeks later, we went to see a different movie with my dh & ds, and it was Disney or Pixar or something, and honestly, the previews could not have been more wholesome. It was crazy how different those previews were between the two movies.
Ever since then, we try to avoid getting to the movies until just when they're going to start, so we can skip the previews. I think she is still a little shell-shocked by that whole thing. I know I am!
