Default so is the Pilot 2 hours or 1 Hour?

I'm confused. The convention episode is supposed to be 70+ minutes long, but people are saying the pilot is only 5o+ minutes long. What about commercials? Or are they going to show it commercial free? I don't think you can squeeze Heroes into a 1 hour episode. Anyone got any clue what we're gonna see come the premiere?

Here's the official press release of the season premiere.

It seems the premiere is just only 1 hour. (Sep.25 9-10 p.m.)

so they're going to do it like 24, by "declaring" the sponsor at the beginning and at the end, with no commercial interrupts during?

For some reason I doubt that NBC is gonna try to fit a 50+ min. episode into just a one hour time slot.

They do that in your area? Lucky! We've got to sit through commercials - or at least I would if it weren;t for Tivo!

So it's one hour with limited interruptions. Sounds good.
