You'll never see them again

Also TV now:
Murder mystery.
"Comedy" that's all about murder mystery.
Depressing drama.
Drama about murder.
Murder comedy that's mostly just drama.
Documentary about murder.
Depressing documentary.I miss the good engineering docos, how it's made etc. And shows like Mythbusters.
There's nothing quite like that now.

Maybe I'm weird but sometimes I actually enjoy streaming one episode per week, especially if I like the show, it just forces me to spread it out.
There's so many shows that I watch one episode of something with the wife every night, and we haven’t run out of stuff to watch in years. We like to watch one show at a time till we finish the season before we move on to something else, so we just wait till the show or season is over
-
Also see Life on Mars, Journeyman, Freaks and Geeks, Pushing Daisies, and Freaking Firefly.
None of this is new.
I love Freaking Firefly.

Which one was filler?
S03E10 - "Fly"
-
Orville best NuTrek.
...and yet the elevator pitch "Seth McFarlane wants to be Picard" sounds like it would be awful. But it works.
-
We don't talk about that.
I bought the OG McGyver on DVD a few years ago and I was all "I remember this being a lot better than this"
-
I'm reserving my judgement until I see the reboot of the Munsters.
Is this a real thing?
-
Also writers: We don’t give a shit about the source material the fans love. Fuck these nerds.
I was so disappointed by the ready player one film and was absolutely flabbergasted when I learned the author was actually actively involved in the film.

I used to hate the weekly model when streaming became popular, but I think people are better viewers when they watch weekly. It's easier to have ongoing water cooler conversations about each episode, so your show gets consistent buzz. Plus you don't have the extreme of a whole year+ to wait between seasons. If a classic show ended in May you could start a new season in September. By the time most modern shows have new seasons, I forgot 40% of what I saw last season.

If you want to know how the series would've been if it had stayed on, you can read the comics.
Graphic novels were sweet, especially the Shepherd's tale.

no one tell make them watch 10 seasons of stargate
I tell everyone I can to watch 10 seasons of SG-1 . The first show I actually watched every episode in order, though I am sure I saw many of those in syndication before Netflix became a thing. If you don't like Stargate there it's something wrong with you.

I much prefer one episode a week. However the wife doesn't. This is the main reason we never finished Flash. Also because she felt we had to watch all the arrow verse shows in order to watch Flash and she decided it wasn't worth it once to do that you'd have to watch one episode of Arrow than one of Flash, then one of DC's Legend of Tomarrow.

Is there a television show that doesn't have a gun in it?
I don't recall the last time I saw a gun on TV outside of an advertisement or the news, so I guess your mileage may vary.
-
I wanted to dispute this, but aside from the hyperbole around the number of episodes per season, top-rated TV in 1975 was pretty damn good.

I love that all I the family and two of its spinoff are on there.

Then again how many shows were there with three channels, top 30 is probably most of what was on prime time.

I hate when they release streaming shows one episode per week. I am not going to watch it until it’s done and I catch up on other shows. Stop trying to get me to watch weekly, it’s not going to happen. That’s just not how people watch tv anymore.
So a new show to me is new for a solid year before i can get to it sometimes. So many times a show gets cancelled before I can watch it and half the time I lose interest once I know it’s cancelled
I don't watch a TV show until it is finished, it had a satisfying ending and it is acclamied.
This is how I watched Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, The Sopranos. I loved it.
This is how I avoided watching a single episode of Game of Thrones.

S03E10 - "Fly"
omg I was watching behind the scenes and Vince Gilligan was like "i really think that Fly is an episode that's going to stand out to viewers!" like, why, for being a boring hunk of crap? I think his rationale was that it's a lot of walt and jesse screen time
-
The one where the whole thing is just Walter chasing a fly around the lab. I've even got a vague memory of Vince Gilligan admitting it was only there because they were an episode short of whatever they were contractually obliged to produce but had very little budget left.
no he thought people would like it because of how it develops the relationship.... the episode gets referred back to a lot. I thought it was boring though, I'm glad I'm not the only one
-
Part of the problem is that modern shows have far smaller audience than two decades ago in absolute numbers. The most watched shows today have horrific numbers compared to previous decades.
they don't know that I'm watching
