re: #127 wheat-dogghazi

Many of these shows waste time recapping what happened before the commercial break, then proceeding with the “story.” If they took out the commercial breaks, and piled the ads near the ends of the program (as they do in other countries), the actual program would be about a half hour long.

In a similar vein, most broadcast TV dramas are about 42 minutes long, or less, once you account for the beginning and ending credits and the commercials. That’s 18 minutes of story-telling lost.
