We've just had What's My Line, which is great. The friction between Buffy
and
Kendra is hilarious.

I'm really enjoying it. It's on 5 days/wk though, which is too
concentrated. I'd
prefer it spread out more so it lasts longer.

Yes, that would be one way to spread it out, if I can resist.

That doesn't seem to happen here in Australia, if other shows are an
indication.
Even Get Smart, which was 24-25 minutes per episode in the 60s, is shown
in full
in half an hour. We don't have much advertising on cable, mainly
promotions for
shows and shorts to fill out the hour.
