Network hour long shows going 20+ eps a season

[MenacingMonk]

what do you guys think of this format? I really don't care for it. Cable shows usually do 13 eps a season. I think it's better this way.

It may be fine for half hour shows.

Dont have a problem with it
Im not impatient

I prefer full seasons
need some fukkery episodes sprinkled in there

Too long and very outdated. May have been cool 10 years ago but there is just too many shows and too much content out there for that now IMO.

Hell even 13 can be too long. Some of the Netflix shows could have benefitted from being an ep or 2 shorter

Overkill. Golden era of TV right now, need to cut the fat to hack it out here. Twenty plus for sitcoms is cool

 

[Sauce Dab]

Nah keep it at 13. That's a lot of writing for 1 season especially if it's an hour

I guess....but I'm pretty happy that there are 150+ episodes of The West Wing that I get to rewatch whenever I want

most of these shows don't have season long arcs so it doesn't matter.

Are yall talking about shows like Law & Order and CSI? Because with shows like that, a lot of times they feel like one off episodes that loosely tie into some of the events that happened in previous episodes. Because of that each episode feels kinda sorta fresh, that is if you like that particular show and it's premise. So for me, the format isn't a problem. I will say that I wish Game of Thrones was 30 minutes longer per episode. Maybe it's just me but though I love the show, after every episode I feel like they should have had more time. I'm never satisfied. It's really one of the only shows I feel that way with. In general though, I don't care if the season is 8, 10, 13, or 24 episodes. As long as it fits the show.

Yes.

If the West Wing was 13 episodes a season, I'd be highly upset

a lot of my favorite network shows were an hour/20+ eps a season

Of course there's always 24 also

I gotta give 24 props for keeping shyt hype even on a real time format.

The only time a long season would bother me is if there is uninteresting filler out the ass.

Basically. I really don't care how many episodes you give me, as long as you give me dope episodes. 24, 26, 13, 8, whatever. It's not binary (as most people on the internet want things to be). You can get 13 episodes of utter garbage

Only hour long network drama I've enjoyed was Friday Night lights and they only had 20 + episodes their first season.
