Checked some episodes from some shows I had available, first seasons, DVD or Bluray source:

Miami Vice (1984): 48m

Homicide Life On The Streets (1993): 47m

TekWar (1994): 45m

Nowhere Man (1995): 45m

Battlestar Galactica (2003): 44m

Dark Matter (2015): 43m

12 Monkeys (2015): 43m

Lucifer (2015): 43m

There are exceptions though. Legion (2017) episodes are around 50m, and several of the newer "made for streaming" shows have 50-60m episodes.


Thanks. The pattern isn't perfect but the trend is clear. These are Season 1, excluding pilots.

A-Team (1983): 49m

MacGyver (1985, original): 48m

Quantum Leap (1989): 47-48m

X-Files (1993): 43-44m

Monk (2002): 44m

Eureka (2006): 44m

MacGyver (2016, remake): 42-43m
