In tonight's ep she told Gomez he could spend 10 minutes with her then less than three minutes later she tels him his ten minutes are up.

Don't you know "TV time" moves MUCH quicker than "reality time"
I've noticed that in practically EVERY show! People will say "bla bla in 5 minutes" then in like 30 seconds later it will happen.

Besides if he had actually spent 10 minutes with her that would have taken up alomost half of the episode

Probably the only exception to this is the one episode of MASH which was done in real time... with a clock running in the corner.

Of course it wasn't shot in real time but as far as the episode was concerned it was a continuose half hour (though really only 24 min

)

I know I'm way late with this ..i haven't been here in quite some time but there was an ep of the x-files done in real time if memory serves, tho not a sit com. Can't begin to remember the name of the episode but it was the one where mulder found himself on a boat in the burmuda triangle & scully was a nazi..

I think Morticia said she was taking a 10 minute break from her writing when Gomez comes into the cave. Dont know when she started it though.
