When I was very young, and broadcast television was still in its infancy, a 60 minute network show contained about 50-52 minutes of content.
Today, you can feel _very_ lucky to see as much as 44 minutes of content per show.
Personally, I don't care if they stuff 54 minutes of commercials into each 60 minute show. I'm not going to watch the show as it's broadcast. I'll watch it on netflix, stream it, or download it. In any event, as far as I'm concerned, the commercials never happened :-)
