It is my understanding that more commercial breaks are necessary nowadays to pay for airtime. I think I read somewhere that the actual minutes of showtime are about 3 or 4 minutes less than it was 10 years ago. So it's possible that they have had to edit some of out of an older program to make room for the extra commercials they need in today's market.
