For the video game genre, see Real-Time Strategy. There are no artificial attempts to show time compression; everything is occurring as it is happening. One minute onscreen equals one minute in show time. The Super-Trope to this is Extremely Short Timespan. Compare Back to Front, Anachronic Order, Magic Countdown and Comic-Book Time. All examples of The Oner not involving over- or undercranking are in real time by nature. Sometimes, TV series will do a low-key Bottle Episode entirely or mostly in real-time. |

Mister Rogers' Neighborhood eschewed quick cuts and jarring transitions. As described in Mister Rogers' Neighborhood: A Visual History, "Each television visit was designed to resemble the flow of real life, with time to think or complete simple tasks." In Episode 1697, after Mister Rogers asked viewers to take a long, careful look at an African violet, the camera stayed fixed on the flower for 25 seconds. | |

Each episode of Where In Time Is Carmen Sandiego began with a 2-minute introduction sequence, followed by the Chief telling the contestants "you've got 28 minutes to get it back, or history will change forever." They always succeeded, since it happened at the end of Round 2, and catching Carmen was just the icing on the cake. | |

The Justice League episode "Wild Cards" takes place in real time, with the Joker's timer in the corner of the screen keeping track for most of the events. In between part 1 and part 2, there's a minor "rewind". Lampshaded by Joker when the clock starts at 22:51. "Oh what were you expecting from me? A round number?" The creators obviously designed the number to be the exact time between the timer's appearance and the Flash dealing with the final bomb, rather than trying to forcibly edit the length of that time to an exact number. | |

12 Angry Men takes it even further, with not only almost all of the movie taking place in real time, but almost all of that period is set in one room. Even more remarkably, it had to be shot four times, each from a different angle with one of the walls removed to accommodate the camera, with the jurors getting progressively more sweaty and dishevelled. When all four angles were cut together it worked perfectly in continuity. | |

Neon Genesis Evangelion has many scenes that are drawn-out pauses, with no attempt to "speed up" the action: sometimes this is actually realistic. In one episode, Rei and Asuka are in an elevator and both are completely still for about 30 seconds, the length of a long elevator ride. Presumably this is to make the awkwardness of their interactions more prominent; it is also very cheap to film. NGE also shot the final battle of the ninth episode in real time (and synced it to music). | |

24 is the most notable example of "real-time", with the script writers conveniently forgetting that if the show were really happening in Los Angeles, Jack Bauer would be spending the majority of each show stuck in traffic. The very first episodes of the program features Kiefer stating at the beginning "Events occur in real time." The show was not very rigorous about this, ignoring the limitations of the Real Time format constantly and generally using it simply to build suspense. The final episodes of 24: Live Another Day and 24: Legacy have a 12-hour Time Skip after the last commercial break. | |

The Brooklyn Nine-Nine episode "Ticking Clocks".

Jordan Mechner's The Last Express is set in real time, albeit sped up by a factor of six, and the ending changes based on where you are at certain times, meaning that the player must very carefully manage where they are to get certain endings.

Uru: Ages Beyond Myst, or to be more specific its To D'ni expansion pack, makes partial use of this. An office belonging to a character named Douglas Sharper gains a second journal, which refers in an in-character way to Ubisoft pulling the plug on the multiplayer servers in 2004. Later, the player would check back and find that there are more entries in the journal - showing that Sharper is right there in the cavern with you. However, this falls a little flat in recent years, as the entries correspond to the system date of the computer playing the game, so Sharper's entries jump from the beginning of 2004 to several years later. | |

It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World manages to juggle this, all while following multiple groups of people and several different sub-plots all at once. Though the film is infamous for having several different cuts, the most recent Criterion release clocks in at just over 3 hours and 17 minutes, a realistic length of time it would take to travel the 125 miles from Palm Springs to the Portuguese Bend (especially considering all the constant delays each character ends up having to deal with). | |

Real Time with Bill Maher: The central gimmick of the show is that it's a live broadcast of a one-hour show without commercial breaks. The show's theme music begins with someone announcing "Start the clock," and the set features digital displays of the current time, with the seconds ticking up.

Blue's Clues gave every appearance of taking place in real time. Viewers follow host Steve or Joe (or Kevin in the U.K.) through events in the Blue's Clues house and backyard, or into skidoo, without cutting away or any indication of additional time passing. In one installment, viewers even sat with Steve for one minute as a clock appeared on-screen counting down one minute as an exercise in patience. Another installment with Joe, "Patience," was all about finding ways to be patient to pass the time until an egg hatched at the end of the episode. There was even a song to go with it— "Wait. Wait. Wait. What can we do while we wait?" | |

Crimson Tide. The second half of the film takes place in real time, beginning when the USS Alabama, an American nuclear missile submarine, receives orders to fire their nukes on a hostile target within the next sixty minutes. The following hour includes two submarine combat sequences, three mutinies, philosophical discussions about the nature of warfare in the nuclear age, excessive amounts of sweating, and a lot of clock-watching. | |

In Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood, events are generally presented without any time skips or sudden scene changes.

Some Pokémon games do real-time progression in this manner (Pokémon Gold and Silver was one of the first to do this), which is especially unique because RPGs in general rarely use this trope at all. Then there's Pokémon Black and White and its sequel, which zigzag this trope. While the clock advances in real time, the seasons pass faster than real time, so a year's worth of seasons take place in four months. | |

The Tsukipro franchise takes place in real time overall. The characters have conversations on Twitter every day, about what they did that day, and when it's their birthdays, they talk about the age they actually are. Some of the younger ones have also gotten taller over the years - Koi and Iku, who started out small and childlike, have gotten to be some of the tallest members. The first two groups, Gravi and Procella, were all 15-17 when it started, but now, they're all adults (the youngest, Koi, turned 20 in 2018). The second anime series, Tsukipro the Animation note the first is Tsukiuta the Animation, which aired in 2016 but took place in 2014 does contain flashbacks, but the main part of each episode takes place the week it aired (including Eichi's birthday). | |

In the pilot episode of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, the speedy pegasus Rainbow Dash claims she can clear the sky of clouds in "10 seconds flat". She lives up to her word; in exactly 10 seconds real time the sky has been cleared. Also, in a later episode, Rainbow ends up in hospital, and there is a one minute-long montage of her trying kill time. Then she looks back at the clock, only to notice that the whole montage took place in Real Time. |

Doctor Who: "42" supposedly takes place in Real Time, however, there are a few conspicuous breaks from the gimmick. Here, the title refers to the number of minutes the protagonists have in their Race Against the Clock, and is a Shout-Out to both 24 and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. In "Mummy on the Orient Express", all scenes in which the Foretold attacks are timed to take exactly 66 seconds, as per the legend. There's even an on-screen countdown shown. "Face the Raven" is built around a countdown. The final 15 minutes or so of the episode take place in real time. Although this is not explicit, one can work this out by comparing dialogue with the episode timing, though this only works when watching the DVD or the non-commercial BBC broadcast. This is a good example of how much can be accomplished, dialogue-wise, within just a few minutes. |

Karin-dou 4koma: Outside of a few story arcs, most of the strips' events happens roughly when the strips are released. The series started in 2008, so this is reflected with Tamaryu slowly growing from a 8 year old girl to a 13 year old middle schooler. | |

Roger & Val have Just Got In is a bittersweet SitCom featuring two characters in a house, and every episode not only takes place in real time, but (as the title suggests) at the same time of day, as the two each get home from work. | |

The Longing takes this to perhaps its most logical extreme - the events of the game take place in real time over 400 24-hour days, during which the player is free to do whatever they want (including not even playing the game at all) with no actual end goal other than successfully passing this time. | |

Pathologic is relentless in its story progression being tied to the In-Universe Game Clock: the entire plot is timed to occur over 12 in-game days, so you actually have to be in the right place at the right time to witness and to potentially influence its key events. | |

The Cabin Pressure Bottle Episode "Limerick" is all done as one scene in real time. Unlike most other examples, though, virtually nothing actually happens in the episode - they fly over a really boring bit of Russia, have Seinfeldian Conversation and play word games, and cook a pie. | |

The aptly-named Stargate Atlantis episode "Thirty-Eight Minutes" is the only Real Time episode (except for the last scene) in the Stargate-verse. The title refers to the maximum length of time a Stargate can be open after a puddle jumper (a ship capable of travelling through the gates) becomes stuck in an active Stargate with its control room in the wormhole, giving all parties thirty-eight minutes to figure out a means of getting the ship unstuck and moving through the gate before it's basically cut in half and exposed to space once the Stargate shuts down. | |

Night Trap, Ground Zero: Texas and Double Switch are all played in real time, and as such, you'll be forced to ignore the story and check other areas to take care of the roaming enemies if you want a perfect score. Tellingly, in Night Trap, you miss trapping several augers if you actually sit and listen to Lt. Simms' entire introductory spiel (the 2017 edition averts this by removing the time limit and instead allows you to take your time in the new intro before the game begins). | |

Frasier did two real time episodes, Season 1's "My Coffee with Niles" and Season 6's "Dinner Party". In each, the real time even continues during the commercial break, as Frasier goes to the bathroom just before the break and returns straight afterward. In the latter, he's on hold for the first intermission, giving Roz the opportunity to go down, get her dry-cleaning, and come back up. However it does not hold true for the second intermission. | |
