Three Minutes
Turns out that back in 1975, CBS actually cut old episodes of All in the Family by a whopping three minutes in order to allow for more time for commercials. Norman Lear attempted to haggle with CBS to keep those three minutes, and even offered the network more money for those minutes! However CBS declined the offer.
