[QUOTE="Emelee, post: 197672, member: 73"] Oh, yes! Committing to a full hour series with 22 episodes per season gives too little time left to watch multiple series. We live in a fast-pace society. A 15 minute YouTube clip can be too long for many young people these days. Things need to happen quicker or else focus will be lost. And I can feel some of that myself. If I give a new series a go and nothing captures me within 15 minutes, I won't give it another chance. Soaps are especially difficult these days. They do filler scenes because they have to put out half an hour or a full hour 5 times a week. I was a huge soap fan in the 90s. Now I only watch Emmerdale. But I record it so I can fast-forward through the plots or the scenes that seem dull. I wish ABC, CBS, NBC and FOX would rethink their seasons. I watch almost none of their series anymore. [I]Modern Family[/I] on ABC is currently the only US series from the big 4 networks that I watch, and it's only a half-hour series. Better yet, when a limited series with maximum 6 episodes comes out! [/QUOTE]
