I’ve been watching more television lately than ever before in my life. That is, in part, because I’m writing a weekly column about television. It’s also because there have been some interesting changes happening in the world of television. But that’s another topic for another day.

Because I’ve been watching more television, I’m also seeing more television commercials. I’ve decided that I don’t mind advertising if the spots are clever and entertaining. Most of us, I believe, are the same on this point.

So I decided this week to initiate a semi-regular article looking at the best television commercials being aired, the first of which published today.

I’m restricted, of course, to commercials that are airing in Canada, but if I don’t see it, it doesn’t exist, right?
