states that the show had a running time of "29 mins" but someone just said it ran in a 30 mins time-slot meaning there was no commercial, right.
By the way, running time is the exact length of the show wihout commercials. Thanks for your help.

It didn't have any commercials - HBO doesn't have any during a show/movie. It is only a 29 minute run because HBO has an introduction before everything that displays the HBO logo and the rating for the program.

the show started out on HBO, there were no commercials, which is one of the positives of HBO. If you get HBO, you can get it ON DEMAND and watch the original show, or of course rent the original shows. They are entirely different then what you see on commercial TV. It very well may be a running time of 29 minutes, leaving one minute for HBO to have it's own commercials for the station before the start of the movie that would probably follow. A lot of HBO shows run short of the full hour, check out Deadwood, always time for self promotion around their own produced shows.

There weren't any commericals during "Sex and the City". HBO shows tend to be a few minutes shorter than what they say. For example, in TV Guide, it might say that an episode of "Oz" is 1 hour long. But its really 56 or 57 minutes. There are commercials before and after a show. No show on television is exactly 30 minutes or an hour long - even on HBO.

There were no commercial breaks when the series premiered on HBO but some may have been added when it went into syndication.
