    True. All of the shows I mentioned didn’t hit their stride until season 3 or so. They would never make it today. Netflix will kill a show now if it doesn’t make Office amounts of money by episode 4

      You also have major changes to the writing process, part of it which came up during the writers’ strike.

      There used to be a whole team of writers writing for the show and they would tighten up scripts in a very collaborative writing process. Studios don’t want to pay for it any more.
