Hi, I have a question about commercial breaks in 24. I would like to ask if the commercials are exactly as long as the time jumps in an episode, so the episode is exactly 60 minutes long.
Why am I asking? I'm from the Czech Republic (that's why my english is bad -sorry- but I hope you at least understand what I'm asking about) and we have just 1 commercial break in each episode, but there are about 4 places when time moves forward about 5 minutes.
Thank you. |

The timing is really good. I'm impressed. I feel sorry for whoever's job it is though. The only annoying thing is on the DVDs, cause then it's not quite in time. |

So the ads take up as many minutes as the time skip? I never noticed that. |
