When my wife and I sit down to watch a tv show, the first thing we consider is how much time we have. Whether we can watch a 30 min episode, an hour, 1.5 hours, etc...
I have often wished that this was an available filter. In fact I have create collections and try to add all our TV shows to them. Rather than consider the lack of commercials, I just estimate the intended runtime, which is usually included on TheTVDB. If it was missing for a show, I think PMS could come up with a decent estimate of the runtime based on the average duration. For example, my collection categories look something like this:
- "15 min or less": 0-15min duration
- "30 min": 15-30min
- "60 min": 30-60min
- "90 min": 60-90min
- "120 min or more": 90min+
