#i hate the streaming era so much attention spans are cooked

Man it makes me so bummed out that shows like Scorpion and Leverage just do not exist anymore, and not like the way I usually say "they don't make em like this anymore!" I mean literally if you went to an exec today and told them you had a show idea about:

A mainstay cast of 5-7 people with their own clear, distinct personalities and motivations

In a family dynamic that go through a new plot every episode

Over the course of 15-30 episodes per season with a 3-5 season run

Oh and each of those episodes are a tight 25 minutes, once you drop the commercials

We do a 40 minute episode ONLY for the season finale

They would look at you like you grew a second head. What do you MEAN shows don't work the way movies do and they need time and investment to gain traction! The Bear is like the closest thing to this but it's still so far away cause it's very much still a Streaming Era Show and the tone is just so radically different. The average media executive mind cannot comprehend a [Blank] Of The Week format anymore.
