John,
 
Two things.  1. Do you order much stuff from Amazon?  If so, prime pays for it's self with what you save on shipping.  2.  A 42 min. show is actually an
hour show on the old cable & over the air.  A 22 min show is 30 min.  So you only had 12 min of commercials where you get about 8 min of commercials in a 1/2 hr and 20 min commercials in an hr show.
