I think these modern reality shows (Pawn Stars, DIY network, Food porn, Cake Boss, et al.) only throw up about 18-19 minutes tops.

Just one more thing to be grateful for IMHO. I'd like it even more if they could whittle it down to 10 minutes per episode.

I remember YEARS ago when I was a kid and changing the channel was INSTANTANEOUS! Turning now is like waiting for the next ice age.

I remember YEARS ago, when I was a kid, changing the channel meant turning the knob to the next position where a copper switch contact would make.  It would be an instantaneous connection but then you had to adjust the "fine tuning" ring to get the picture in clearly.
And you HAD TO get up out of the chair and walk across the room to do it!

I remember having to wait a few minutes for the TV to warm up when you turned it on.  :o

Actually, if they just told you the programme was 10 minutes of ads then there wouldn't be a problem - it's the sitting through ~20 minutes of crap to watch the ads that is so annoying.

Nothing quite like the glow of some vacuum tubes to brighten your day :)

What!?!  You mean you DON'T like seeing the preview before the commercial, seeing the actual event they previewed after the commercial, then seeing a recap of the same thing - EVERY SINGLE COMMERCIAL?  What kind of TV zombie are you anyway?  ;D
