Anyone notice that Ron and Fez have been signing off ealry lately. They didn't today but on Monday and a couple of day last week they started playing that crappy satalite of love song at 2:45 or so. That's a full 15 minutes of show we are not getting.

You are right, and in the 2 hours and 45 minutes that preceded, they took one 5 minute break.Quit yer bitchin'

It's a debate, more commercials during or leave early.  I say as long as they are on close to the time they are supposed to be then, sure why not take off a few minutes earlier.

If anything they should get extra credit for filling an hour of programming for O&A today

I have to record with the MyFi, so I see all the commercial breaks. Usually there are three segements with the two breaks in-between. Sometimes they do four segments if they have a couple of guests, as they like to get them set up. Monday, since there were no guests, they only did the two long segments with a 5 minute break in the middle and a longer break at the end. If you calculate the time overall it pretty much works out the same every day.

By my count it was ten till 3:00, which is perfectly acceptable sign off time in my mind, especially since most of their stop sets are relatively short and infrequent.

Sorry if it came off like I was bitching or snitching or anything I was just trying to point something out. My job keeps me away from my desk for long stretches at a time as a result I'm not sure how many breaks they take or when they take them.

blacknoi

09-27-2006, 11:28 AM

I would much rather have them take less commercial breaks and leave early... the longer the segment the better...except if there's a guest. Thats the exception where a break should be taken to set up the guest.

09-27-2006, 11:33 AM

I love the 90 minute or more segments, especially when the go all over the place with stuff.<img height="133" src="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/local/images/traffic/mixingbowl2_121098twp.jpg" width="200" border="0" />

Stop blaming Sithlord! Sure... he started the thread. But Dave misrepresented it to Ron and Fez. Like I said... I love Dave, but I demand a public apology. Come on Dave. Admit that you blew this thread out of proportion, in a way that hurt the show (for a day, at least).

Right after you tuned out, Ron said something to Fez about not being able to continue if Gvac isn't listening. He then threw the cowbell at Dave, it caught Dave flush on the nose and he started to bleed. Febreze saw the blood, passed out like a fainting goat.Fez looked at ROn and said "That's the end of our show,  DONK" and the commercials started.You can trust me. I'm not like the others.

It also seems like their breaks are shorter than O & A. However, it always brings a tear to my eye when I hear the closing music. Makes getting through the rest of my work day a hell of a lot harder.

I decided to perform an analysis of this year's XM shows. I took the playtime of each of my mp3s which have had the commercials edited out and made a histogram out of them. A total of 130 shows were included. Here is the histogram: <img width="391" height="297" border="0" src="http://www.zentraed.com/ronfez/ronandfezshowlength.png" />Throughout the month of September and up through last week, all the shows have been 160 minutes, which is in fact LONGER than the shows had been running this year.

Getting the mp3 lengths was a little tricky, but nothing a few screen captures and OCR software couldn't fix...Show-length aside, with O&A leaving so much earlier than before, I don't know why they still need so much music at the front of the show.
