That was unusual because those specials were so beloved. If you

fit in the half hour slot.

That /is/ unusual.

It should be kept in mind that the /commercials/ are what matter to
the broadcasters. The "program" is just something to produce an
audience for the important stuff.

We record everything then watch it later and just fast forward through
all the idiotic adverts. :-)

Most adverts are just ridiculous rubbish that tell you almost nothing
about the actual product / service because some massively over-paid >advertising company is too busy trying to be arty-farty instead.
