| All 1 hours shows run 40 minutes with out the ads and half hour shows run for about 20 minutes with out the ads. It has always been this way. I have a large collection of TV show DVD box sets including shows from the 80's and 90's and it is the same with them. Selling ad space is how networks make money otherwise they would not be able to buy shows from overseas or make their own shows. |

| A simple thing to do when adverts come on is press the mute button. We do that all the time. Much more pleasant. |

| 41 mins is the standard length of time for all tv shows that go in a 1 hour timeslot. the number of ads is perfectly normal and no more than are in any other show. |

| The show still runs for the same amount of time, and even without the commercials its still runs for the length of the average tv show. |

yes ads are annoying, but what do you suggest 7 do?
there is only so much content that is made by ABC studios. should 7 go film their own scenes with kochie and jennifer hawkins passing out in a drowning bus to fill some extra minutes for you? |

from now on, ill watch it on online, download it off the net, wait til the dvds....whatever, but after last night i cannot sit through it on channel 7, with so many commercials, it was absolutely ridiculous
if these channel 7 programmers want to maintain their ratings they are going to have to stop the amount of ads they show....last night just really annoyed me...you cant even watch a show you enjoy without constant interruption |
