Yeah, I noticed the same thing. The program I use to watch TV has a timeline which shows the show in dark blue and the commercials in light blue. This was the timeline for the 2 hour premiere:



Notice how in the second hour, the commercial breaks are almost as long as the show segments.

Other than that, I thought there were too many inventions that were given a yes that were either such a niche item that they shouldn't be the "greatest american invention" (the pit hiding bowl or the cookie snowglobes) or that were entering a flooded market with little improvement over their competators (the exercise machine). Hopefully, the show will improve with time, but something tells me it will never reach season 2.
