American television is mired in a past where people more or less had to rearrange their schedules around when a show was going to be on. More than a few shows succeeded or failed based solely on whether their schedule was compatible with more people than another show. It's why the old stereotype was that soap operas were for housewifes, because they were on during the day when the menfolk were at work, and no I'm not going to dive into that any more than that. These days we have more choice than ever. Not only in what we watch, but when we watch it. Back when they controlled the time slots, they didn't need to put a lot of effort into being linear or interesting. They just had to keep an audience captive long enough to show them 21 minutes of ad per hour. And if your audience might miss a day or two, well, gotta make sure they don't suffer for that or they won't jump back in. Actually, another interesting phenomenon goes back to the soap opera. Because these shows had a even more captive audience, housewives who had no obligation but to be in front of their TVs at certain times (again, not going to dive into that) they made them generally more linear with an episode to episode progression. That's not to say there wasn't TV that made attempts to be interesting and have story progression. But those generally didn't have long runs. I'm reminded of Jim Davis, the guy who created Garfield. He tried to make sure Garfield was never too popular, because he knew if it was a phenomenon it would burn out. So he intentionally kept Garfield at a low level of success, backing off whenever it popped into the zeitgeist too much.
This is really interesting and I didn't really consider the time aspect that much. Im a gen z guy so ive just about always had netflix except for when i was little and was watching cartoons or other kids stuff, but that makes perfect sense about the episodic structure. Goated comment thank you for taking the time, never actually thought about this in this fashion!
It’s funny you mentioned season 3 of Suits specifically because my ex and I binged the show over last year and we agreed that season 3 was the worst. Worse than 8 and 9
@@DingusMcIngus it actually does get better. People hate of the last two seasons cause (spoiler alert) Mike leaves. But for what it’s worth it’s actually good. Reason we hated season 3 was cause it was one lingering case of the oil business that we couldn’t give less of a shit about
maybe ill get back into it, idk lol. and yea i heard that both mike and rachel leave at some point and it kinda goes downhill after that. does it ever reach s1/s2 quality again?
I agree with this take, most people focus on the quality of writing but I agree that the format of the TV show can also affect it. For example, I think Obi-Wan and Ahsoka's format is doomed to fail. 8 episodes, 30 minutes each, I don't think that will ever work for live action. You can't fit a three-act structure in that time frame. That's why the season feels too short, but it also feels that nothing is happening.
Yh i didn’t think of kenobi in those terms, but yh im sure that didn’t help. I think for that show in particular it also suffered from the “prequel effect” where the characters in the show exist in the future and have a pretty established character arc and past, so the show writers have to write between the lines of making sure the character fits the canon, which also contributed to the. “ nothing is happening” feeling i think lol
Hahaha thanks brother. I grew up watching guys like Smosh, Pewdiepie, Filthy Frank, Idubbbz, stuff that wasn’t high budget or production value, but just guys trying to share and have fun, and i try to portray that so it means a lot you say this. I dont know if this was meant as compliment or not but im taking it as such lol
Scandal did exactly the same thing. The first two or three seasons were great. Olivia Pope, the main character, was a fixer. People would come to her with their problems and she would figure out ways to solve their problems and avoid... scandals. In later seasons Olivia was entangled in an affair with the President and stopped solving people's problems. Instead her Presidential affair took first place and nothing else seemed to matter.
This is why i've watched east Asian tv (streamed, of course) for the past several years. Largely Indian movies and Korean tv, but not exclusively. It's been so much more interesting and original than anything out of "western media" for quite some time.
Dude, Right! this is exactly why I got into anime and K-Dramas, theyre sooooo much better. Havent really watched alot of indian stuff any good reccs? I started a film club in highschool after I watched like 1000 movies and it got to the point where within the first 10 minutes of most movies I could choose 2 potential endings and sure enough almost everytime it would hit one of the two. I then watched some korea dramas and anime and was absolutely blown away. Not that eastern TV doesnt have its own tropes and formulas but it tends to be a bit more nuanced imo lol.
@@DingusMcIngus Yeah, I've watched enough k-tv to be familiar with their tropes and able to predict storylines anymore (though when they do Japanese webtoon adaptations I can still get surprised), but they still do it so well that it's still engaging anyway. It's also fun when you have shows like "A Business Proposal" that don't quite break the 4th wall, but obviously are self-aware of the tropes and play with them which makes it just silly fun. Then ones that break "the structure" (like "Our Blues") can be really incredible also. So far as Indian recommendations go... Not all of these are necessarily considered to be "good" overall, but these are ones that I liked well enough to remember them off the top of my head: Khoobsurat -- Bareilly ki Barfi -- Tamasha -- Stree -- Taare Zameen Paar -- 3 Idiots - Zindagi na Milegi Dobara -- Shimla Mirchi -- Fanny Khan -- Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo -- RRR -- Bahubaali (1 and 2) -- Kung Fu Yoga (with Jackie Chan! ) -- Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon -- Kal Ho Na Ho -- Petromax -- Bhuul Bulaiyaa -- Devi and Devi 2 (the 1st is also called "Abhinetri") -- Anybody Can Dance 1 and 2 (2 especially, but 1's still good) -- Rab ne Bana di Jodi -- Billu -- Kuch Kuch Kota Hai -- Happy New Year - Om Shanti Om - Housefull 1 and 2 (but NOT 3 or 4...) -- Pad Man -- Guzaarish -- Dhoom 2 and Dhoom 3 (I'm told the original is great also, but I've never seen it) -- Baaghi (there are sequels, but I've not seen them) - Bhangra Pa Le - Half-Girlfriend - Dear Zindagi - Barfi - Dil Dhadakne Do -- Dostana - Kapoor and Sons -- Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania ... and there are honestly a lot more but this is already way too long a list so... Enjoy any or all or none, as you like!
@@MagsonDare Dang, thanks for the super comprehensive list! I will certainly check a few out. Heard really good things about RRR and its on my list just havent gotten around to it lol. Will also look into those K-dramas, i quite enjoy a good k-drama...
@@DingusMcIngus For a real "meta" thing...there's a channel called "SaheeILhanStarTV" wherein a kdrama actress (yes, I have seen shows she's been in -- she's legit) watches/reacts/reviews indian movies. Oddly enough, this was how I got in to kdramas -- I'd watched a lot of Indian films for a couple of years and decided I wanted to see reactions to them so i could vicariously experience them again, and I found a LOT of Koreans reacting to them. They'd often mention similarities in plot to various kdramas, so I started looking up the kdramas and watching them, and well.... the rest is history.
If U.S TV is getting plaudits for Film-eseque quality, and TV Studios can only think short term before greenlighting a show, then my thinking for the last decade is just sticking to making "Limited Series"....Limited Series are just basically "Long Movies" that are stretched over 2 seasons and then it ends...That way there's a concise plan & ending and we don't have to run into the bullshye we all keep running into after Season 2 for U.S TV..."The Glory" K-Drama is the perfect example of a long movie that was a great watch from beginning to end (2 Seasons)
I agree! I'd so much rather watch 1 show that is well planned and doesnt run itself into the ground than ten shows that start out cool then cant land the ending. The problem is there was a financial incentive for a long time as audiences would get invested in a show and would be more likely to watch characters that they were invested in than a new show that is better, it retained audiences in a network to network competition. the streaming era is really changing the game tho. Going back to the limited series idea tho- I think the big issue is having a plan. I absolutely love the BBC's stuff, even when they run long series they usually run to a plan so its a completely different ball game. Another series that ran kinda long was the breaking bad/ better call saul franchise which ran long but had a plan so it worked out phenomenally well. Planning is so cheap!!! Just plan!!! I want to shake the studios lol
@@DingusMcIngusfunny that Vince Gilligan admitted that they didn’t have things planned out for BREAKING BAD. They’d just do stuff like the bear in the water or the M60 in the trunk not knowing where they were going.
@@mem1701movies I mean details like that maybe but hes stated from the beginning it would always be a limited series and I'm sure he had the ending in mind when he started it. He may not have had all the twists and turns planned out, but walt and jesse were pretty consistent and linear in their progression and im sure he knew how he was landing the plane. Thats at least my conclusion from what ive read and seen about it
I stopped exactly at season 3 for the same reason on Suits. I liked your in depth description but it really could be boiled down to one word, money. The writers have ok plans but the content gets stretched out on purpose once the audience is invested. The only thing that is required is to leave a cliffhanger at the end of each episode. Only solution is to not watch the show anymore but people have separation anxiety lol.
yh tbh not sure how much is studios vs writers, but its obvious to me that its a lack of planning. And yea i only breifly talked about financial things, but once audience members are invested the incentive is for the show to be just "ok", bc ppl will watch regardless lol. for the longest time, watch hours were the bigggest metric studios paid attentiojn to (bc ad revenue) and once ppl cared abt characters, theyd watch no matter what, now that subcriptions have entered the chat its a different game it feels ...
@@mem1701movies TNG is really good, i havent watched all of it, because theres ALOT, but my mom had the first season or two on dvd and i watched it alot when I was little- really good show
I stopped liking Suits once Mike went to jail. I stopped liking the Flash after season 3 and I thought Arrow treated Barrys character better than his own show I think because Arrow had better writers
The problem with shows like suits is that it's not meant to last more than a couple seasons because the premise is finite. That shows premise is based around a smart kid who is fake being a lawyer. That plot will get old after 2 seasons and there needs to be a resolution. However, due to syndication and money, which the BBC doesn't deal with, these shows get extended long past their lifespan and it becomes trash.
I really don't get why dramas have this problem because we have seen comedies where the show is actually better towards the end than the beginning: - Parks & Rec - Friends - Fresh Prince - Fresh Off the Boat - Modern Family - Brooklyn 99 That is just to name a few. I can't really think of any drama that is as good, if not better, at the end than it was at the beginning.
Yh comedy is different i think bc the story is second to the characters a lot of times, like think parks and rec- the characters are the driving force and it gets more enjoyable the more you get to know characters like Ron or Leslie or Andy. Also I would say at least a few on this list, like Brooklyn 99, actually ended before the ratings took a slump, so they didn’t let it get run into the ground and quit while they were ahead lol.
I enjoyed the later seasons of Better Call Saul more than the first. I think Burn Notice had a good final couple of seasons. The Shield had a great run!
@@wyatth2992 better call Saul and breaking bad are an exception and i actually talked about them in a clip but i cut it from the final draft lol. But yh they had planning from the beginning and were always intended to have a finite run rather than an infinite renewal status. Haven’t seen the other but maybe I’ll give them a check out!
@DingusMcIngus The Shield was great! Strongly recommend. Kurt Sutter was the producer. He also did Sons of Anarchy, if you've ever heard of that. SoA definitely suffers from late season fatigue, though.
@@DingusMcIngusMaybe, they were rushing because they wanted to work on Star Wars so badly?? I guess? Which would be ironic, if that's the case, because they lost the chance to work on Star Wars, which could be because of their work on Game Of Thrones.
Yes, it sucks SO bad... no wonder it is the most popular source of TV programming around the globe. The most reproduced shows, the most viewers, the most syndicated, the most COPIED around the world. Yes, please enlighten the world with which country has more popular and successful TV? If you decide to be even 1% honest, you'll research the facts of it and realize that it is... GASP!!... American TV. It "sucks" in your opinion, certainly not factually.
You clearly didn’t watch the video because none of what you’re saying has anything to do do with what i said, my point is that US tv shows run into the ground due to poor planning and the corporate structure that finance them, whereas shows like anime, K-dramas, BBC productions typically have shorter runs and better planning. But to counter your argument, Drake is currently the most streamed artist in the world, is he the best artist ever? Fuck no, far from it, i could name ten artists more iconic and influential than him. Just because something is popular, doesn’t mean it is the “best.” US tv is only influential because we produce so much of it and export a lot of it. Nowadays US tv even takes a lot from British tv and K-Dramas. Looks at all the popular shows on Netflix- you’ll see shows like Queens gambit take alot from the BBC Dramas- and ppl are freaking out over shows like squid game and movies like parasite bc they’re realizing that Korean shows are fucking awesome.
I don't think so. You'd be hard pressed to find 10 US TV shows from a cable tv network in the last decade that were ended due to a planned ending rather than a plummet in rating and watch time. In fact I researched extensively and can only come up with a few examples lol
Tbh Breaking bad/better call Saul is really the only major network project, not made for streaming that comes to mind, really well made and planned im sure there are others but they’re not coming to mind. a lot of others shows i like were made for streaming lol
