Also, do tv shows take into account commercials? I'm thinking not, because on a 2 hour Nitro or Thunder, I'm actually booking 115-125 minutes of matches, angles, interviews, etc. In reality, with commercials added, I would probably only be booking about 90 minutes of stuff. Does that make sense? If I want to be more in line with reality, should I make my shows hour and a half long instead of 2 hours? I find myself having trouble going through the given angles and finding enough that sound good to add to my show, because right now I'm not using storylines, so nothing I do really has a lot of heat. What is a good work around here? Thanks.</p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p>
So if you go to a Raw taping, you'd expect that everything stops and you all just sit there for 5 minutes during commercial breaks? You still have to book for the live audience, regardless of what's going on with commercials. You can simulate that by booking minor angles when you figure the commercial breaks might be, but remember that matches carry on through commercial breaks some of the time too.</p>
