It was never supposed to be 90 minutes. Remember, they also said there would be a bonus of 10 minutes of preview to the new Batman movie. That takes it to 80 minutes. Now subtract the commercials, and in this ep everyone agreed that there were MANY more commercials than usual. If indeed you got 51 minutes, is that content (no commercials, just the actual program)? If so, that would make 29 minutes of commercials, about average if you consider nowadays 30% of content is commercials, so maybe it just seemed like more commercials? No wait, 29 minutes out of 80 is more like 36% commercial content. If, on the other hand, you got 51 minutes, but that includes some commercials, all bets are off. A typical SV seems to run about 42 mintues of content. Anyway, we're talking 9 more minutes with an advertised hype of 30. Pure and simple...sales pitch...ratings ploy.

It also seems some markets got the actual show cut short by both full length and even more commercials.

Count this as a preview for when you can really watch it when released on DVD.
