The answer is 84 minutes.

To calculate the original length of a 120 minutes television program which has a commercial break of 36 minutes, it is necessary to subtract or take away the duration of the commercials - which is 36 minutes.

Thus, 120 (total length of the TV show) minus 36 (total length of the commercials) equals 84.

120 - 36 = 84
