Reply to TIL During the 20th century TV series that reached 100 episodes were generally preferred for syndication, since that meant stations could run 20 weeks of programming without repeating a story. In recent years that number has fallen to 88 episodes. by UndyingCorn
Well I guess here in Canada they sold blocks of episodes because stations played the same few episodes on repeat and never the rest of the series.

Watched the same episodes a lot. I was a kid at the time. Now I don't watch broadcast television so no idea if it still happens.
