Reply to comment by Circle_Breaker in [Discussion] Anyone else struggles with following shows because of the increasingly longer breaks between seasons? by IBoris
You mean when new seasons premiered every year, without the 2-3 year lag current shows seem to struggle with?
Oh yeah, that was horrible *eye roll*

Also the normal season episode count was upwards of 30 episodes and rolled over into the next year, usually leaving a short 6 month wait. Even the hour long dramas like ER took over half a year to air.
It never actually felt that long, especially compared to today's 8 episodes every 18 months

The worst thing back then was the christmas and superbowl breaks. So annoying for a show to go on break for 4 weeks because of some random sporting event.

Always Sunny is getting pretty bad lately, Huge wait times and then the episodes are super short and the seasons get more and more condensed.

Yes, but those 20 episodes a season were procedural. Most of the episodes didn't really matter because they were self-contained.
When you get to 30+ it's drifting into soap opera tier quality.
Whilst there are less episodes per show now, there's way more shows.
