10 Things Surprisingly Shorter Than WWE WrestleMania 33
6. The Combined Run Time Of Every Fawlty Towers Episode
You know a wrestling show’s long when you can watch the entire span of an entire TV show instead. If you add up the run time of every episode of John Cleese and Connie Booth’s 1970s sitcom, the total duration comes in at six hours and 10 minutes.
The iconic sitcom ran for two series, and with six episodes per series, the show originally aired from 1975 to 1979. Episodes were approximately 30 minutes in duration with the shortest clocking in at 28 minutes, and the longest being 34 minutes. The show is regarded by most as one of the best sitcoms of all time, and placed number one in BFI’s 2001 list of the 100 Greatest British Television Programmes.
So for those disenchanted with wrestling and never seen this comedy classic, you could watch every episode of it in the time it takes to watch Wrestlemania 33.
Furthermore, there’d still be enough time to watch an episode of Cleese’s earlier work, Monty Python’s Flying Circus.
Just don’t mention Raw.
