re: How long should a TV Show Run

I think a big problem is most shows are written a season at a time. So there is no real end in mind. I do not know if it is possible but writing the show start to finish seems like a good way to keep it from going down hill in later seasons.

This is kind of where I'm going with the 100 episodes thing. And it doesn't have to be 100. Whatever the commitment is, 32, 48, whatever. If someone is allowed to plot that out in advance (rough sketch obviously), it can make for tighter story telling.
