Geeze guys... overly-technical much?

Maybe "full-length" was an erroneous choice of words on my part. Sure, they take two 30-minute episodes that have a common theme, string them together on a DVD, and voila you have a "movie." I was talking about your average grab-and-watch that most people would recognize when someone says "let's watch a movie." A length closer to 90 minutes or more per.

That's why I mentioned 3 one-hour TV episodes since they are an average of only about 45 minutes long.


Oh, and who chose "More than 40 per week?"

Well either someone who works in the field (Roger Ebert might have managed this much in his younger years) or is not working at all. Or no sleep.


SCNR, Mithi


BTW: do Vampires have to sleep or could they just as well sit in front of the telly during the daytime? (Darkened room of course)

A flatscreen in the coffin-bed maybe?

This would better be the King-Size version of a coffin bed then.
Otherwise how is the 65" supposed to fit in?
It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

180 minutes = 135 minutes = 90 minutes, now it makes sense. Chose, what do we have... "Between 30 and 40".

Ah, I forgot you probably meant "US Commercial channel 1 hour" (ie 40-45 mins + commercials)... I was thinking UK BBC 1 hour = about 1 hour (and, just in case that sounds like I'm having a go at the US which wasn't my intention) Game of Thrones or Spartacus 1 hour which also = ~1 hour... I picked those two as those are 2 by coincidence I have been watching this year.

It all makes sense now!
