Rep Power: 10  |  Why do all the best TV shows get only 30min of air time?
I think that shit suck major ass. u got all this stupid ass shows getting full hours and 5 days a week while the best shows get 30min and only ones a week.
for example, take a look at the Dave Chappelle show, that show is crazily funny and everytime u look at it, u keep wishing that shit is one hour.
What do yall think? about good shows having half an hour air time |

I think if it was an hour long, there'd be more filler and it'd be watered down. It's kinda like albums nowdays, back then you only needed ten bangers - now people got like 20 songs per album and half of them are garbage.

^word wost than a good ass show only being on for 30 min... is a show being on for 30 min and only comes on once a week... where as some get lucky and come on 5 days a week... some good ones play back to back like i know martin does from 5 a.m. to 6 a.m... i completely agree with this thread cause it seems like the dumbest and wackest shows get the most air time.... | |

I think the good shows only get 30 mins because if they had longer then they wouldnt be the good shows they would be the shitty ones that go for 1 hr 5 days a week because we would end up getting sick of them.
I find it hard to get sick of Dave Chapell but if it was on for 1hr 5 days a week it could happen... | |

^ yeah it does. for 5 minutes of something truly impressive you have 10 minutes of garbage.
if the shows were longer you'd prolly get bored of them pretty soon, if this dave chappelle thing was on 5 days a week for an hour, it would get played out on you man. | |

Commercials are payed for.. which normally keeps the station going.. so be happy for commercials it keeps your shows in rotation. | |
