I agree wholeheartedly and I think it's something tv producers are afraid to do or think people don't like it. Maybe it's just a relic from cable TV with set time slots. But no, you don't need to make that transition 30 seconds longer or add 2 minutes of scenery in between every shot just to stretch it to whatever minute-mark you're trying to accomplish. Same thing with cutting or rushing things; if I'm 4 seasons into your show, I like it enough to set aside an extra 15 minutes of my time to watch an episode that is properly paced and fleshed out, vs two that you chopped into awkward, rushed, flat 30 minute chunks.
Stories are not uniform! Our story telling mediums shouldn't be either. Can you imagine if James Cameron tried making Lord of the Rings in 90 minute segments?
