   	I'd imagine it's possible to select from a couple commercials   
   to match the preceeding content, although I'd have to guess it was a   
   matter of great luck if more than one could be fit in some way.  While   
   there are pre-interviews so everybody knows what the topics are going   
   to be, you would need a pretty flexible mind to pick out (say) the   
   Coca-Cola commercial showing classic cars, or whatever they were going   
   on about.   
      
   	Is there genreally enough flexibility in scheduling commercials   
   that they could be bumped ahead and backward in a show, or at least   
   within a half-hour block of the show?  (I could imagine this depends a   
   lot on the relationship a network has with a particular sponsor.)
