User Reviews

Obvious one-liners everyone should already know.

NBC's series of "The More You Know" commercials, while possibly informative to very few, simply state the obvious. Thank you for the attempt at educating us, NBC, but I already know not to give my children drugs and to tell them not to get into strangers' cars. These commercials have all been weak five-second presentations which will not have any effect on parents or children, nor will their continued use give the celebrities who appear in them any recognition as being helpful or insightful in respect to the content of the commercials. I've been seeing these presentations on NBC for over a decade now, and have yet to view one that has left any impact on how I view their subjects.
