The 20'ish minute per hour has been around for awhile now. True. Standard sitcom length. HBO/Showtime haven't got the amount of commercials so their half an hour shows are from 25/28. (Weeds, Entourage, Curb Your Enthousiasm) |

(Weeds, Entourage, Curb Your Enthousiasm) I believe the good Dr. meant "full hour" shows. The 60's Star Trek had a runtime of about 50 minutes per episode. Star Trek TNG/DS9 was already down to 45 minutes. My recently arrived season 3 of Alias has an average of 43 minutes (all NTSC). | | | Karsten

Hmmm. Okay. My mistake. Point is pretty much the same for the half hour as the 'full hour' shows, though. |

The 20'ish minute per hour has been around for awhile now. Right on....I can remember when the media first increased the commercial break time. There was huge public out cry and the media relented for time. They resorted to old frog in the hot water trick. If you put frog in hot water, he'll jump out, but if put the frog water at room temperature and gradually increase the heat he'll be cooked before he knows it. The media gradually increased the commercial break time. I have TV shows from late 40's to the present, so I have the proof. This practice has been used for ages by various organizations to train the young to accept their dogma, where as the older adults would be so eager to accept their domination. | | | We don't need stinkin' IMDB's errors, we make our own.

| | Posted: | | | | Two new shows start tonight, Christian Slater in The Forgotten, ABC and Chris O'Donnell in NCIS: Los Angeles, CBS. Fortunately they are on at different times, so I can check them both out.
The Forgotten is a take-off on Cold Cases, CBS and New Tricks, BBC, with a twist, they add some regular citizens into solving cold cases.
I just received my copy of Castle, I'm anxious to see if it lives up to its hype. | | | We don't need stinkin' IMDB's errors, we make our own.

I just received my copy of Castle, I'm anxious to see if it lives up to its hype. I've watched several episodes of Castle and recommend it. It sometimes has cameo appearances by famous writers when the main character, Richard Castle, attends a weekly(?) card game with people like Steven J. Cannell, James Patterson, and Michael Connelly. This happened in the pilot episode and the first episode of the new season (Monday). I don't know if they did it in any other episodes, though. I can also recommend NCIS: Los Angeles which is a bit different from the parent NCIS. | | | Another Ken (not Ken Cole)
