1997 VS. 2012...WHICH TIMINGS WILL WIN OUT ON FRIDAY 11/23???
36:22 nowadays for each episode vs. 38:59 (not including the "extras" of title/credits/etc)... Will NBC let "Days" air an extra 2 minutes, 37 seconds on Friday 11/23.
That's a lot of commercials lost. Or will NBC edit out around 2 minutes 30 seconds so "Days" airs its normal amount of commercials??
