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
