What SICKENS me about Hollywood is that in my youth, a show like Reacher would be cranking out 26 episodes a year, a new series landing every September like clockwork. We should be waiting for episode 68 to drop. There should be three Christmas episodes by now.

How dare they make this show without acknowledging I am the genius adonis upon which it is based.
I saw him eat a honey baked ham in one bite.
He gets off the bus
OH NOES! A SHADY RICH GUY W/THUGS IS FORECLOSING ON THE ORPHANAGE!
Reacher beats them up, saving the orphanage in 45 minutes.
Get on the bus.

I *think* the A-Team had one or two clip episodes over it's run. Even in those, dudes still got punched by B.A., cars flipped multiple times and the baddies got out just fine, and Hannibal still loved it when a plan came together.
I love TNG, but I'm kind of happy there's now enough time for writers to question whether their ideas are terrible.
Not to say people wouldn't do that stuff, but it made for poor tv.
And even back then as a kid, I knew doing this stuff with your boss would be just weird.
Maybe Chappell Roan now...
Because everyone can just skip the credits I guess we’re less likely to get anything from the next Mike Post.
Network tv shows, each network had no more than 20 half hour sitcoms each year and five hour long dramas. Netflix has approximately 43,000 shows going at any given time.
I wish they would produce more episodes of fewer shows, too.
As someone who remembers what you're talking about...I also remember how so many of those 26 episodes felt like filler, or were underwritten and poorly produced but had to air because They Had To Make the Order.
I really don't mind waiting if the overall quality is better.
*yawn*
Pass.
Must agree to disagree.
The majority of them were anything but, brought about by the pressure of having to produce so much, so quickly.
I think shorter seasons--whether 13, 10 or less...improves the hit to miss ratio because creators aren't being rushed.
Hah, you're so influenced by British TV.
Ironic, considering how few episodes are in a British series, vs an American season, vs a Spanish season (Metástasis, the Colombian Breaking Bad, did all 62 eps in 3 months).
Also, please use alt-text when you post images.

i would be a lot happier with 15 to 24 episodes of most shows vs the 8 to 10
