I would not sit through 18 minutes of commercials for a 42 minute show, neither 30 minutes for a 90 minutes film. I don't mind watching commercials (for television particularly), but your numbers are really, really high.

It might surprise you to know that is the standard length of advertising in a one-hour block of commercial television.

So I imagine you do sit through 18 minutes of commercials for a 42 minute show.

It doesn't surprise me at all. But I don't watch broadcast television.
