If you've ever wondered how much of those TV special events is event
and how much is filler, I've got the answer. For the Sunday showing
of Star Wars, there were approximately 33.5 minutes of commercials
during the movie.
This number does not include the segments before and after the movie
itself. As I see it, these did not interrupt the presentation of the
film. However, it does include the comments which were inserted just
before commercials. Fred Flintstone? Give me a break. Well, at
least they didn't have John Denver doing any of them.
