[QUOTE="payn, post: 9860794, member: 90374"] I have the same opinion even though im not quite so scortched earth with it. Though, yeah I think folks think about the long episodic format with rose colored glasses. I have tried to revisit some shows of yesteryear and the format isnt a strength at all. I can count on one hand the number of 24 weekly episodic shows that can compete with the serial age of the last 25 years. I did try [I]Person of Interest[/I] and bombed out of it. To be fair to episodic fans, ive never really been all that enthralled with the format. Though, POI seemed to me to be the last prime time show of the format. I was told it was really really good and to try again. It really really wasnt. The 20+ episode format specifically made it a weak show. I think a well written and executed binge show is like folks say, "a really long movie." The limited series is probably the best format for it. [/QUOTE]
