    On the other hand that was back when we just expected half of those episodes would be "filler" that wasn't very good that we'd never watch again It becomes embarrassing having to see them all there on the DVDhttps://twitter.com/AngryBlackLady/status/1366582293289050112 …

    They really did used to have 32 episodes per season for shows like Melrose Place. It was madness. Now it’s like “here take 8 tight half hour episodes and we will see you back for season 2 in four years.”

        So in the end, the English TV model wins?

        I remember when I was into House (sigh) Hugh Laurie went on this rant about how a career as a film actor and as a UK TV actor did not prepare him *at all* for US TV Said it was the most grueling schedule he'd ever experienced

        The fact that The Young Ones only had 12 episodes (about 7 hours total) across two seasons is a big part of why that show is so well remembered.

        If you didn’t say all you wanted to say in 13 episodes, you’re not gonna say it in 22

        i think that's what made Twin Peaks so astounding at the time, there was no filler.. or at least, the filler was at such a high quality. I'd never seen a show that consistently good at that point

        the extremely reductive take is that movies are (and have always been) the equivalent of short stories, but in the era of prestige tv we've begun to expect tv shows to be novels one of these is just exponentially more work, it turns out

        prior to the prestige era the expectation was that television was just a familiar face riffing on a story she's told you before

        It's weird, I actually like what a lot of people call filler. Because the episodes have characters I'm already familiar with, I get to just watch them do their thing for the run time. Though, I think a big part of that is that I just like episodic storytelling.

        Give me a random-ass tng episode any day over more modern tv where an episode is just one chapter in a saga.
