[QUOTE="Kenny Coyote, post: 198011, member: 102"] TNT Dallas just wasn't good and changing the number of episodes wouldn't have made it good without other changes. If a show isn't good, 10 episodes is too much. Original Dallas is still loved by the people on the board and it had seasons of 28 episodes, even 30 and 31 episodes. It shows that if a show is good, having standard length seasons is better. I'd rather have more of something good than less of it. It was a lot to wait 4 months for the next Dallas season, so just imagine if we had had to wait 8 or 9 months in between each original Dallas season! There are good shows currently being made that only run 10 episodes per season but do you like the 9 month wait for the next season? I think the actors prefer the short seasons because it allows them to still make movies or other things, and that may explain their current popularity but the audience isn't necessarily getting what they want; they're getting what they're being offered. Some people have the idea that audiences only like fast, short paced things snd they don't have the attention spans for anything longer that goes into more depth. When Joe Rogan said he was going to have the interviews on his podcasts run for 3 hours, "experts" in the industry told him it wouldn't work. They told him people don't have the attention span for that. Joe Rogan knew that there are plenty of people who still have attention spans and he believed people would appreciate a product that goes into depth in a way that a shorter one couldn't. Joe Rogan's show became and still is among the most successful in the business! [/QUOTE]
