The debates are longer than average TV episodes. My calculations (based on times listed [here]) put the total debate time (not counting tonight’s [Jan. 26]) at north of 1,900 minutes. That’s about 32 hour long TV episodes, 64 half hour eipsodes (I’m being generous and counting commercial breaks as part of episode length). That means the current round of GOP debates have outlasted such TV shows as
Firefly
Freaks And Geeks
My So-Called Life
Police Squad!
Wonderfalls
Eerie, Indiana
Arrested Development
