TV Land Question: Why do certain shows have more commercial breaks than others? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Was watching TV Land this even and noticed that one show had 4 commercials breaks in a 30 min show while another show only had 2 commercials breaks.

Anyone know why this is the case?

They're often off-the-clock, that would create more commercial breaks.

Off-the-clock is one of the many reasons why I no longer watch TV Bland.

Nick @ Nite is worse about it.

I have to confess My Television Network - LSN (Little (Stinker) Network - "TV the way it used to be ONLY BETTER!"), also runs its Programs "Off-the-Clock", however it's not for the same reason Cable Nets such as TV Land(fill) do. It is

THE EXACT OPPOSITE!!!

Starting this Tuesday LSN will "Broadcast" the Following Programs at 10:00 PM give or take a few minutes.

Tuesday - Star Trek: The Next Generation

Wednesday - Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

Thursday - Star Trek: Voyager

Friday - Star Trek: Enterprise

All of which I acquired the "Rights" to "Broadcast" for one H-E (Double Hockey Sticks) of a Bargain!

Back in the day TV land is all we watched and we LOVED it. We no longer watch TV Land or any Nick @ Nite channels. because they offer few good shows now and the ones they do have are chopped up to make room for additional advertising.
