Today you get caught up in a show and then it's over before you know it and you get to wait at least a year before you get another 8 lousy episodes.
I'm curious to know if this generation fucks similarly... 8 lousy minutes of screwing and then piss off for a year.

24 shows was the goal with 100 shows being the amount to get into syndication. that was sitcoms... on GOT and similar shows they are using film shooting formats. a game shows typically shoots 5 shows per day, 2 days a week, 4 weeks a month until caught up for the year, sitcoms shoot one show a week 24 weeks a year, episodic dramas try and shoot 7 pages of script per day, films try and shoot 7 pages of script per day if possible, possibly less. figure most scripts are around 100 pages, so GOT possibly takes 2 weeks to shoot one script and then a few weeks in post for all the green screen. so you can figure 1 month per episode, 8 months for a season. then the writers have 4 months to write the next season which isn't really that much. plus no actor can work year round on a show, they are very busy and booked far in advance.
here it looks like 8 months per season...
