Just watched this for the first time over the past 30 hrs or so - wow

man sheila palmer makes lady macbeth look like sandra dee

I thought this was really weird and wondered if anyone had any info

The show makes use of real time - in obviously a big way - A big deal is made of the fact that the serbs will be phoning David Palmer at 10:45 - yet the phone call comes at 10:34 on my DVD's

I've found confirmation of this online but no explaination - anyone have any info?

the most logical explanation would be the lack of commercials would offset the time on the DVD by 9 minutes.

no that isn't it because every time a commercial runs the clock advances three minutes or so

probably just an errorr

yeah, you have to expect them to cheat a little with a real time show like that. It's just a little fourth wall breakage...but nothing so big that willtake away your enjoyment of it.

yeah i don't really care i just firgured they might have commented on it on a fan site somewhere or something - great show

wadr, you have too much time on your hands if you are really worrying about 11 seconds differance on a fictional TV Show. But I got a good laugh, so I thank you for that. biggrin.gif

I love when people are critical...and wrong

11 minutes, and that obviously isn't the point.

Don't bill yourself as an all white basketball team and have your starting center be Shaquille ONeal.

he said the show was still good but just curious. Sometimes, bright people become curious. It's obvious you'll never have to worry about that. Lucky fella.
