There are more adverts in the US... but they are shorter. The UK has less adverts, but each block lasts longer.

With regards to total timing, there is no difference between watching a US show in the US or the UK. They both run on hourly schedules and the total show run time of a US 'hour long show' is around 42 minutes.
