"53 Minutes"
Posted by Hoobie on 03-07-08 at 05:45 PM
I really love BB. And am upset that every time the show wraps up there is at least a FULL 7 minutes left on the hour that could have been filled. Now, I love this show so much that I don't watch the live feeds, but I do watch Showtime After Dark, albeit several days later. I do not ever want to get spoilers. But, surely there is sufficient material to fill a full hour 3x per week, no?

it's probably cause when they tape it they gatta leave room for commercials. Plus they might not even have enough good footage to get to the hour....but i agree. I hate when shows end way before they are supposed to. It's like they r stealing from me.

They could, but why, when they can sell that time at a premium to advertisers.

Since when have advertisers been willing to pay premium rates for BB time?

Okay, pehaps premiums was a bit of a stretch but where else could you see ads for "off the Vine" wine shoppe?
A seemingly unbusy little mom-n-daught operation located in ... oh, who cares?

Really, is there any reason we watch it at all?

The main reason I watch is so I can play BBRAT!

I totally understand your frustration.....

And to think sometimes they re-cap scenarios 4-5 times in a week, sometimes 2-3 times in a single episode!!! Drives me nuts, but I am goofy enough to still tune in....egads, I admitted it!!!

If one actually wants more BB time, there is the subscription, and there's what is shown on Showtime after midnight.

Be careful what you ask for though. It gets ugly. er.
