There’s some kind of FCC regulation about commerical volume levels, so some ads get around it by pushing all the sound to the maximum level allowed, under the premise that you’ll pay attention to them.
Some TVs have a setting that normalizes volume levels accordingly. Either yours doesn’t or you don’t have it enabled.
I’m gonna be ticked if the bring Riley into the fold instead of killing her.
Thanx Badger. I’ll look into that on my set.
They been dragging that plot around for a season and a half. I have no idea why.
I don’t think the writers know either.
OSSIM!! Found it. Tanx much.
Uh, oh. Bad things are going to happen.
Is this episode called ‘Attack of Social Services’?
I doubt it.
Kendra will save Riley.
Wanna bet?
I don’t see her taking that chance.
Damn it 'Talos - you were 1/2 right!
Yay!! The volume thingy is working. Hurrah for Badger!!
They’ve been doing that all the time. Snore
That explains it - we haven’t been watching SCC for a while. :o
Not missing much. This is every episode.
I’m sorry y’all. I’m hatin’ again.
That’s why I’m here. 
Oh! It’s the five minutes of drama ending. We should just watch the last five minutes of these episodes.
And miss all of the people staring at each other across rooms and through windows?
I had a bad day. Can you tell?
Oh look. Finally killed Riley. It’s about frakkin time.
