for 1 season. It will have a beginning, middle and end that is finite so you can write the show from that perspective. I think these shows get so stupid because they're open ended so they have to find ways to extend it. There was a good series in here if it were limited to a dozen or so episodes. This is how I felt about every season of 24 too.

limiting could be good; but, maybe even more likely would be shorter seasons, a la the UK series. - b. Apr 30, 12:11
writing a network show is like laying down tracks for a constantly approaching freight train - charlie Apr 30, 12:09 3

  - it varies from show to show. CBS procedurals keep bankers' hours because they are pure formula. more ambitious shows can be hectic-er -- nm - charlie Apr 30, 12:19 1

yes. I like that AHS does this but I hope they reign in it some for the next season. 'Asylum' was often unwatchable. -- nm - Diva Apr 30, 12:06
