they can range from 30mins-60mins*

*this all depends on the show

Most American shows, ie Scrubs, House, The Big Bang Theory, will last either 20 minutes or 40 minutes so that they can fit in either 2 or 4 sets of 5 minute adverts making the TV show last either 30 minutes or an hour in real time. If you buy the DVDs of the TV show however, the episode will last either 20 minutes or 40. Usually comedies (Scrubs, My Name is Earl, Friends) will last 20 minutes or half an hour with adverts and dramas (House, Smallville, One Tree Hill, Heroes) will last 40 minutes or an hour with adverts. This also applies to British TV shown on channels like ITV. However, TV shown on advert free channels like BBC will often last exactly 30 minutes, an hour or even 45 minutes. You will find that most British TV on the BBC will last 1 hour.
