Back in the day, a 30 minute show had a 'running time' of 27 minutes. Today's broadcast TV shows have a running time of 22 minutes. That's 5 extra minutes of commercials right there. Plus, ads are superimposed on top of the picture to tell you what's on next, tomorrow, and next week!

You can bet the old 27 minute shows have been pared down!
