1. My Havanese does the same thing...

We had to stop watching Americas funniest videos cuz of the racket. He hears music to a commercial he knows that there is animals featured and goes nuts. One time there was an ad for something that had squirrels in it running across the screen, he chased them around to the back of the tv.
I have a friend whose dog does the same. We think it's because of HD tvs there are no scan lines like in the old cathode ray tvs. Those lines probably made the amimals hard to see for the dogs.

Just a theory, who knows?
