RE: How long is "too long" to wait for an additional season of a TV show?

I think it all comes down to money. Get the money to make a show and complete it. Great.

Then find out people like it and there is money to be made... great. Make more. Except the writers weren't expecting things to continue. The actors weren't expecting additional seasons. The production crew moved on and the sets and locations moved on.

Big lag getting everything worked out again.

Personally right now I'm watching an anime called "MF ghost" I get one 22 minute episode every week. It is soo frustrating. Then again I grew up in an age before streaming so I can live with it... but still... very annoying.

Yeah. You layed it bare as it is and that's the fact. I've seen shows where they changed the major characters in the additional seasons because some of the former characters no longer want to sign a contract for additional seasons.

I can imagine their frustration and that of the writers. The production crew usually face a huge task when something like that happens and the fans of the show also have to hope that the additional seasons won't be a total disaster.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this.

As a side note.... Sometimes waiting for additional episodes of a series is a good thing. I loved Dr. Who in the 1980s then it went on hiatus for a very long time. When it came out again it was better than ever. I loved the series Red Dwarf (it was awesome) then in the middle of the series it went off air for a couple of years and when it came back...still loved it. In that case one of the major characters was going through a serious legal battle and possible long term imprisonment. Luckily he was found not guilty and things went on.

Truly I hate it when there is a long break in a series. Often it comes back weaker (here's looking at you Stranger Things) but every now and then you get a comeback gem :)
