Is it just me, or are TV shows turning towards a 2 hour air time for regular episodes?
It used to be that all dramas, reality shows, everything were 1 hour in length, and sitcoms were 30 minutes. This was without exception. Lately (in the last year, especially), it seems to me I've seen a lot of shows that ran 2 hours in length REGULARLY, and not just for the premiere and finale. I'm a little brain-dead at the moment and the only one I can think of is Hells Kitchen, but I know I've watched a few others and noticed many more in the electronic TV Guide. Perhaps these are '''technically''' two 1-hour episodes back to back, but they're shown as one episode without an intro on the second episode.
Is it just my imagination, or are there a ton of new shows out there that run 2 hours on a regular basis? What are some other ones? Is this the new way of TV - two hour shows?

Hells kitchen really only ran a 2 hour episode like once or twice... Usually that happens when there is crunch time for when the season should end - as in there is another show that needs to air on this date, and you need yours to end a week or two sooner....
Most shows will do a 2 hour episode if they know that the following week will not be able to be aired for example, a big political thing, or a big sports event.
I havent seen any other shows that runs for 2 hours for more than a week or two.

Actually, I've watched Hells Kitchen every week for the last 2 seasons and they've all been 2 hours EXCEPT for the finale, which was only an hour. I can't remember the other one, but it ran this time last year, and yes, it was EVERY WEEK that it was 2 hours.
It wasnt hells kitchen -- it was master chef.
That's 2 hours? Hells Kitchen is the only show I watch - I've never even seen Master Chef, so I'm certain it's Hell's Kitchen. In fact....
