Imagine that. Two or three seasons for a tv show always srem like the sweet spot. Same with movies. Terminator, great. Terminator 2, even better. Terminator 3 to wherever we are now, what the fuck even is this?
I think a lot of people watch long lasting tv shows out of habit, not because they are good or holding up. Bob’s burger is the only exception i can think off, and maybe some other niche shows, if they are good they are good and if they have more to say, go ahead.
One of my favourite shows used to be community. I have the fondest memories watching it for the first time. Now every time i rewatch it i got reminded that only the first two seasons are really good, and then it just falls apart.
It’s not a golden rule. A show can be bigger if the creator has a large enough vision for it, from the start. The problem is that it’s not how the business works - if you try to make a long show you’ll end up with a cancelled show instead.

What? No. Absolutely not. Fuck, imagine if TNG had only run 2 seasons. Any more terrible ideas?
