who thinks that 24 blows arse?

24 episodes each 45 minutes long does not equal 24 hours

# I did
I didn't rate it though, seemed like too much of a commitment did 24 episodes.

# It does if you add in the 15 minutes of adverts American TV would include.

# yes it does
because the 45 minutes aren't consecutive. they've factored in the ad breaks, see, so there are four points per episodes where nothing worthwhile is happening, and that's when they cut to adverts.

it's when the characters go to the loo, as well.

# there is a logic for that
For example- do you want to see Jack Bauer taking a shit?
No. Not really.

The time difference is to accomodate for boring mundane non-plot things.

Least that is what I read.
