I know the 26 ep a season shooting schedule was hell on actors, but it really allowed for more variety in episodic shows. There could be good eps and stinkers in a season without it impacting the overall show. Plus it gave you more time to weave in on-going plots while also giving room to explore specific characters more thoroughly.

It worked for sitcoms and Law and Order, but generally I prefer the tighter writing that can come with shorter seasons.
I’ll take 10 excellent episodes over 26 fair-to-good episodes any day.
Totally disagree. The amount of episodes per season in the old days is what made so many shows so much worse than they should’ve been
