tos was 50 minutes. cable networks tried to speed it up or edit it so they could cram more commercials in to the actual hour-long timeslot… then they tried stretching episodes (promoted as ‘uncut’ original) out to 90 minutes. 40 minutes of commercials for 50 minutes of program.
TNG was 52 minutes if i recall. they’ve been editing them for syndication down to 42 tho, you’re right just checked and the one i’m on is 45. Why do i remember something being 52 minutes?
42 minutes.
