I feel the same way about sports. A 60 minute football game should not have to last for 3-4 hours! I suppose that is done for the benefit of the establishments frequented by fans of such sports. The longer they sit there and consume, the more $$ is to be made.

I hear you Ernie. THE most annoying thing about those kinds of shows is the repetition. I assume the type of people who watch some of those shows need it for comprehension and retention.
