Format for a series, sections, length in minutes?

Hi, I've been doing a little research and most intros seem to run for 1 minute or more often than not 57 seconds so I was wondering are there any hard fast rules for structure of an animated series?

Intro Time
Time of actual animated content
Credits Time

Also how long is the normal show? Because obviously there's adverts thrown in n whatnot, is there a specific breakdwon, ie an advert every 10 minutes or something, as I've seen cliff hangers in episodes built in just before an advert. etc...

Cheers in advance!

episode should be 10-11 mins i think. or 20-22 mins.
some people have specific limitations on titles. i remember it hink it was BBC or someone who wanted them to be 25 seconds for titles and 15 for end credits.

Is that 22 minutes INCLUDING adverts, end and begining credits?

nope. i thnk its the duration of the show. the rest of it gets added to this duration...

but pls check out websites for broadcasters, you will get specifics.
