FX’s John Landgraf is not sure the media ecosystem supports television shows that run beyond just a few seasons.

    As I’ve gotten older, I’ve come to appreciate shows that do a tight story in six to eight episodes. Many shows with 16-24 episodes per seasons always add in filler episodes that only need to exist to sell more ads over the course of the season. And shows that drag on season after season eventually lose the plot.

    Remember Lost? One hundred and twenty-one episodes only to drop entire plot lines, mysteries, etc.
