It's a time thing.....got less than 60 minutes for the show, can't be waiting 20 minutes for every bad guy to quit wiggling before going to a commercial.

There's plenty of problems with these shows. Take 12 O'clock High for example, how many times can the commanding officer of the 918th Bomb Group be behind enemy lines doing espionage and secret missions yet still keep his command. One show they had a gaggle of local reporters w/cameras snapping pictures in the operations rooms full of maps and documents....yup, plenty of unrealistic things in those shows.
