What i'm saying is, it doesn't add up. In America, the Leno show is actually only 48 minutes of television. You're telling me in Sweden or wherever you are, they show 52 minutes of it. That's impossible, therefore, they must have the same amount of commercials, at least during Leno, which you chastisized us for, that they do in America, or it would fuck up your programming schedule.

I checked, and it's actually 55 minutes in total, not 60 mins.
So 48 minutes show, 3 mins commercial in the middle, and 4 mins afterwards.

The show doesn't get so chopped up that way..

in Australia its pretty similar to how you've all been describing - 3 breaks per 30 minutes pretty much however the best channel - SBS - has about 7 minutes of commercials between shows and none during the shows that means we get South Park, Pizza, Chappelle Show, Quads, foreign films etc without commercials in the middle which is pretty good

The programming schedule doesn't get fucked up at all... Just leave the useless math out of it. There's one break for every 30 minute show. For 45 minute shows there's 2 breaks, for 1 hour shows there's 3. Then after each show there's a bit longer commercial break (or sometimes a 5 minute news flash).

As an example let's take Conan O'Brien. I've noticed that Conan's show has commerical slots always in the same places.

1 - After the 1st sketch/before the first guest
2 - After the 1st guest/before 2nd sketch
3 - After 2nd sketch/before 2nd guest
4 - After 2nd guest/before 3rd guest
5 - after 3rd guest/before "That's our show, good night"

But when they show it here, they only show commercials in slots 1 and 3. Then after the show they have a longer commercial break - go to the bathroom, fix yourself a sandwich, then the next show is on.

Another example - a sitcom. 22 minutes, right? One 3-4 minute break in the middle, another 4-5 minutes after the credits roll.

I guess Finland have more commercials than Sweden & Norway then..
Denmark have slightly more, but probably not as much as you described.

22-24 minutes sitcoms usually doesn't have breaks at all here.. maybe 20-30 seconds break with self-promotion.. (e.g. Stay tuned for "King of Queens" after Friends and 20 seconds with King of Queens clips..)

In the Netherlands it's like this

Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (woohoo old skoooool) starts at 8:00 PM. There's a break at like 8:12 PM till 8:15. It ends at like 8:27 or something, and then there's a break till 8:30 and then the next show starts.
