A key figure behind Star Trek's classic era has likened the shortened seasons of modern TV to the equivalent of a Tinder relationship, and said he hoped the sci-fi franchise would return to 22-episode seasons.
Yeah, I think that’s a big part of it. My in laws watch tv religiously from 5-10 every night and that’s what a lot of people did on cable, and some people watch in the morning too. It’s pretty crazy to me because I grew up without a tv. (Mind you I’m scrolling my phone). But that’s the scenario for episodic tv. 30 min of “content”, 10 min of development, and 20 min of ads.
most of did what your inlaws did, because there was internet, but nothing on it was entertaining, no reddits,or social media to distract people, no wikis. some people also get REALLY wierd around others watching tv for more than 1-2hours, like obnoxius wierd(why you watching tv all day, instead of doing this or that)
