Didn't it used to be like 22/44 or 24/48?

One of my favorite “I wonder how many people got that?” jokes in Spongebob Squarepants is a reference to this: https://youtu.be/RUM-Qk4_KG4

“Every eleven minutes” because each “half hour” episode is two separate segments totaling 22 minutes.

Apparently it was 22/44 in 2013. By 2016, half-hour shows were already down to ~19mn.

Broadcast was utterly unbearable when I visited the US 20 years back, I can't imagine watching it today.
