Last night, I was watching T.V. when I asked myself, "How long are 30 minute shows (without commercials) and 1 hour shows (without commercials)". So I got a timer and timed a 30 minute and a 1 hour show. The raw totals for the 30 minute show was 14:52.50 and the 1 hour show was 31:30.40. These shows are ripoffs.
