I just watched the American version - and boy! there was a lot that was cut out.How many minutes into the first episode do you see this? I checked out the American broadcast (ABC 7 - HD) and it seems to be identical to the TV2 broadcast.

428900 2006-02-10 22:18:00 I heard (can someone confirm?) somewhere at sometime that NZ has one of the highest rates of TV advertising in the world .

This seems far fetched considering that USA have so many ad breaks that they have to you remind you about what's happening in the show after every break!

Maybe we just have longer ad breaks and less of them? Hmm . . .

428901 2006-02-10 23:21:00 I'm sure I read a few weeks ago that Ian Fraser in his rant against TVNZ said something like "20 minutes of ads per hour is not good... bla bla bla" Shortcircuit (1666)

428903 2006-02-10 23:29:00 Yep, I'm sure that he can fit that into his busy schedule now that he's been 'set adrift'... maybe we could have a 'duo act' with Bill Ralston along for the ride? Shortcircuit (1666)
428904 2006-02-14 00:27:00 i have got a copy of the full american version season 2 and they are different dconline (9267)
428905 2006-02-14 08:19:00 Different in what way?
I downloaded Ep.1 Season 2, it ran for 42 mins. I assume the ads. had been edited out.
It came with Ep.2 which was only 37 mins!!!!
