[QUOTE="Willie Oleson, post: 198106, member: 8"] But should they increase the volume of episodes for no other reason than to limit the time it's not on the air? Many of these new (and very expensive) shows are more focused (storywise) than what we got in the 80s. I agree with Emelee that "we get what we want" in the sense of that we're not so patient and tolerant anymore. When a popular show does a stinker episode it goes viral. That's not good. And then there's another thing: streaming services who offer their seasons as a finished product. They don't necessarily have to wait a [I]whole year[/I] to release the next season. And even if you have to wait a whole year, then what's the difference between binge watching 10 episodes in 2 days or 30 episodes in 6 days? There'll still be that [B]11 months and 4 weeks[/B] gap. Don't expect me to believe that you would have stuck to 1-episode-per-week if they had offered OldDallas seasons as a finished product, ready to be consumed. We're greedy, we're hungry. We take what we can (how very 80s villain of me!) [/QUOTE]
