When I watch TV am I hypnotized?

I sometimes get so into a movie or even a commercial that I zone out everyone around me, my husband will have to yell at me to get my attention.  Is this a state of hypnosis?  Are television programs and commercials designed to hypnotize us?

Watching TV typically puts us in a state of what we call "hypnosis". Deep states of trance distort our perception of time, or takes off to fantasy worlds. TV combined visuals and auditory sensory inputs provides ideal media to put us into trance (providing we are relaxed when watching)
Media advertisers know full well how gullible we are to advertising even when we think we are not!

Any medium or thing that gets you into a "daydreaming" stage would put you into hypnosis.

ya even if u keep staring at one spot for like 20 mins u will go in trance... thats why kids try various stunts like superman and shit, and jump off the roofs.
this is called gaze. u r more connected to finer consciousness. mirror can be used for developing some positive things.
there are various exercises in yoga on getting elevated to that state. read raj yog(vivekanand).
its all about psychic control.

Simply put, YES.  It also can occur while driving, you automattically enter in to a hypnotic state, ever get home and not remeber actually driving there?
