And a season would be 36, maybe 72 episodes long, for syndication. Nowadays you get 10. Maybe another 8 if it does super well. And then that's it, because Netflix is fully "no take only throw" about time-sinks like The Office.

Seriously. Parks n Rec, too, which took 2.5-3 seasons to really find it's footing and voice for its characters would've been doomed if it was released nowadays.

IIRC the shorter seasons were a union demand after the '07-'08 writers' strike.
