The 2 1/2 hour finale of LOST contained 107 commercials. (more than 45 minutes) -- (link) - Buzz May 24, 09:47 20
- Exactly the normal ratio. -- nm - nubby May 24, 09:53 17
  - That doesn't add up to normal to me. -- nm - Qale May 24, 09:55 16
    - 45/150 = 18/60 -- nm - nubby May 24, 10:01
    - normal is 17 or 18 (?) minutes of commercials for a one-hour show - znufrii May 24, 09:57 14
      - Normal is 16 minutes for 60 minute show. -- nm - Qale May 24, 09:58 13
        
        Hmm, most hour shows are 42 minutes. -- nm - nubby May 24, 10:01 12
        
        Actually EW is saying normal is 9-10.5 minutes per hour. I get being all Zen in accepting the finale, but apparently there were a hella lot of ads. -- nm - Qale May 24, 10:03 11
        
        There weren't more, they just came more often. - nubby May 24, 10:06 2
        
        Yeah I was thinking 44ish minutes seems about right. So the thing is they spread them out? 2 minutes show, 1 minute ads, 7 minutes show, 3 minutes ads - Qale May 24, 10:09 1
        
        I started counting, it was about 8/3 for a while. -- nm - nubby May 24, 10:11
        
        That cannot possibly be right. I've never watched a non-HBO/Showtime hour-long series on DVD where the eps ran 49-51 minutes. - Ender May 24, 10:06 1
        
        That's probably just national ads.....then you have the local set-asides as well. - Will Hunting May 24, 10:06
        
        hour long network dramas are 41-42 minutes -- nm - sideways pixie May 24, 10:05
        
        I think EW is wrong here, when I watch hour-long shows on DVD, they usually time out to between 42-45 minutes... -- nm - znufrii May 24, 10:04 4
        
        Maybe there is some discrepancy with local ads not being counted somewhere? -- nm - Qale May 24, 10:06 3
        
        I was just about to point out something similar... - znufrii May 24, 10:07
        
        or maybe EW is just lying! -- nm - loosilu May 24, 10:06 1
        
        Well EW does suck major donkey balls. -- nm - Qale May 24, 10:08
- this is why God made Tivo. -- nm - loosilu May 24, 09:51

  - Hmm, I had no problem with it. - Nightcrawler May 24, 09:43 26
    - This doesn't wash for me. (spoils) - musubi May 24, 09:46 10
      - It bugged me, too. -- nm - Callisto May 24, 09:53
      - I hated it too. -- nm - loosilu May 24, 09:49
      - yep, it is that simple. (spoils) - Jovian May 24, 09:48 1
        
        oops meant to go below spawns post -- nm - Jovian May 24, 09:49

        Exactly. Hell (spoils) - musubi May 24, 10:02
        
        i dont see how it negated anything. - tRuMaN May 24, 09:55 1
        
        Like I said, it negated all the character development (spoils) - musubi May 24, 10:15

      - I don't buy that. This is supposed to be (spoils) - musubi May 24, 09:48 11
        
        it's an arguable point. - znufrii May 24, 09:53 10
        
        Look at their story arcs, it's all about (spoil) - musubi May 24, 09:57 8
        
        Yeah, they wrote that for the romantic ideal instead of emotional reality. (spoils) - Inigo May 24, 10:02 6
        
        yes he was. -- nm - loosilu May 24, 10:03
        
        yes to your IM. (spoilers) - znufrii May 24, 10:02 4
        
        oh, that was another thing that bugged me - Reagen May 24, 10:05 3
        
        Yeah, especially since he was older in the normal timeline. (spoils) - Inigo May 24, 10:11 2
        
        I think they really wanted to give us what you said in your IM, - loosilu May 24, 10:13
        
        (spoilers) - znufrii May 24, 10:13
        
        I totally agree. -- nm - loosilu May 24, 10:01
        
        but I think you're missing one point (spoilers) - znufrii May 24, 09:54
      - nods -- nm - tRuMaN May 24, 09:46
      - Exactly. - Nightcrawler May 24, 09:46
  - I was enraged by that. Honest to jeebus I was yelling at the TV. (nm) - musubi May 24, 09:42 1
    - Ditto. - Dr.Vermin May 24, 09:50

        I can see that complaint, but really it didn't bother me. - musubi May 24, 10:06 2

      - my answer... - Mel Profit May 24, 09:43
It'll be interesting to see how my #'s go in the next month given that in nowheresville, Indiana the hotel gym is about all I found. -- nm - Will Hunting May 24, 09:37 7
- hotel gyms can be very satisfactory, esp in very small towns tied to big industry like the town to which you're going. - workmanda May 24, 10:19

  - he would have been so much more Jim Rockford than Dermot Mulroney -- nm - sideways pixie May 24, 09:43 2
    - Dermot Mulroney would be better used in a show called 'Rock' which is simply about a rock. -- nm - Diva May 24, 10:03 1
