Episode Running Time - Series Running Time
« on: June 30, 2010, 06:53:50 AM »
I haven't been able to find the average running time for individual episodes (without commercials). Was it 21 minutes? 23 minutes?

I thought of trying to figure it out by the Running Time listed on the DVD packages, but that's confusing because there are bonus interviews, varying number of episodes on different sets, etc.

If I could find this out, I will do some math to figure out how long it would take to watch the entire series, from start to finish. It's been a dream of mine to be able to do this - if only I had unlimited time and funds! Just think, having 8 hours a day with no interruptions, obligations, work ... I wonder how long it would take to watch the entire series ...

Update to the above:
If my calculations are right, and if the average episode is 23 minutes, you could watch the entire series in only 58.7 days, if you watched for 8 hours per day!

I wonder how long it would take to watch the series if one were to watch 24/7?

58.7 divided by 3 is about 19.5667, so just under 20 days. Let's all rent a house in the wilds of Maine for 3 weeks and have a marathon, with the local pizza joint scheduled to make hourly deliveries.

As much as I love DS, I don't know that I would ever want to watch the whole series in one sitting. In theory it might sound like fun. But I watched the whole series in one year back when I put together the slideshow that's now atop the Robservations board, and trust me, while I enjoyed it at the time, it was a gargantuan effort that I wouldn't soon want to repeat.  [ghost_wink]

As for the running time of the eps, it's always been my understanding that they run 22.5 minutes. Though I've never actually checked out if that's true...
