I agree but covid and the writers strike added time for that.

Writers are that bad. Studios are hiring young, green writers who do not respect source material because it is cheaper.

This.
Writers these days have so many options too. If you are a young and talented writer but are having issues getting a card or getting noticed, you start to branch out. Maybe you work for content creators online. Maybe you write for comedy acts. Hell maybe you do your own thing (Yall remember Dadboner on twitter? He was a Comedy writer).
All those big time insta folks you see have writers. They pay them better than you think as well.
This board also loves this subject but the DEI shite is real as well. If you dont want your stuff watered down with that crap you tend to avoid the big studios because they do demand it in your scripts.
Add all that up and is a big part of your problem.

Really? Star Trek Next Gen had 26 episodes at 50 minutes. By the end of the series they had more advertisements so the episode length dropped to 42 minutes.

You know what’s worse? Splitting a single season into Parts 1 and 2 so single seasons with fewer episodes can be stretched out even longer.
Yeah frick Netflix for that bs. They're doing that with every big show now.

I know there were filler episodes, but there are filler episodes now.
Are writers that bad?
Almost every TV show is a serial plot vs episodic. Episodic lends itself to far more episodes vs having to carry an entire plot for 30-40 minutes. I thought House did a great job of blending the two.

This is one of the things “wrong” with the Frasier reboot. It has the potential to be a good show and certainly has its moments. In a 26 episode season if two-thirds of your episodes are “filler” you still have 8-9 “great” episodes. But with ten, that only leaves 3….and I’ll say those are only very good rather than great.

I think the writer's strikes led to some of this. Many shows shut down during the strikes. When they came back, they had lost their good writers, and they didn't do as many episodes. COVID may have contributed too.
