Yes, they have commercial breaks every few minutes. If you look actual 1 hour epidsodes are really only about 40-45 minutes in length, the rest are advertisements. |

Yes. It's always like that.
That's why you get a cable box, record, and then fast forward through all the commercials.
My father used to time the commercials with his coffee and smoking breaks

"Just been watching TBS an American channel one half hour show of the King of queens had 6 commercial breaks is it always like that over the pond ?"
oooh... where were you watching tbs....
but the answer is that technically american comedys are 24 minutes... so gives you 6 minutes to do other stuff.... so 1 after the first scene... then 1 after the opening credits.... 2 during the show, 1 before and 1 after the closing credits.... lol |

Yeah, I used to watch baseball on tbs, too. Although, being a Yankees fan, most of it was on the YES channel. I'm considering buying a subscription online... |

I used to love pulling an old tv outside with an extension cord on really hot New York days. Sitting on the stoop watching the Yankees kick ass and wearing my shorts, crop top, and baseball cap, drinking half and half.

You do know that "stoops" are not allowed here? Especially not sitting on one. Wasn't there some thread recently that involved stoops and glass coffee tables? |

I must have missed that thread. What's wrong with a stoop?  |

This has been an interesting insight into American culture, and one you just don't get in the media, there are only 8 types of American that get portrayed on tv and in the media, red necks, iluminati, gang bangers, neurotic families home for the holidays, hipsters, geeks and jocks, and marines |
