Only 8 episodes and then fuck off for another year - GoFuckYourself.com

I guess I'm showing my age here but I remember when a show had more than 30 episodes a year.

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.

There's a big difference between the production of Happy Days and Game of Thrones or The Mandalorian.

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... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_o...e_and_episodes

The reason? This generation of "artists" are bereft of ideas and only know how to rip off past greatness.

Because it takes 8 episodes for the shit to be pirated to all fucking hell,
so why waste money shooting episodes before bleeding the first 8 to death.
