Hi I just traded someone for this set Banacek and upon inspection the the 9 dvd set the pilot is 90 mins but the other eps that I have checked are 60 mins. did the hallmark channel edited that much or are all the other eps 60 mins-some please help me clear this confusion.

I even check this link here and according to it all eps should be 90 mins. Have I been fooled in this trade?

Does that time include commercials? 90 minutes with commercials can trim down to 60 minutes or less without commercials.

Sounds about right after the commercials are taken out. I am sure these are not uncut episodes since they are from hallmark. I have the same set most of the episodes run 60-65 mins.

there are no commercials, the time of the eps are 1hr 05mins to be exact-I'm just wanna make sure I can't seem to find any correct information on this.

I've seen it posted (www.epguides.com) that the original pilot was 120 minutes, with episodes of 90 minutes each - but that IS with commercials. When you take out the commercials, they trim down to about 1hr 05mins.

The originals ran in 90 minute slots which for the time it ran would be about 74-75 minutes without commercials. If you have them at 65 minutes they are cut by 10 minutes.
