In the first years of commercial television in #Australia there was a lot of discussion about how much advertising was acceptable. In the end, the government regulated a certain amount of minutes per hour of programming.

Full disclosure: I grew up on re-runs of the original, still have my James Blish paperback adaptions, and a Star Trek Tech Manual with a James Doohan signature.
