Is anyone else irked that the new “standard” season length is 5 seasons, usually of 12 or so episodes? I know there was a lot more fat to trim back in the old days, but I do miss the 7x23 (ish) structure

(I feel...) One thing really missing from modern shows is the room for characters to breath, stand out, and develop (not just emote, but really change). They seems to be efficiently cutting away all the chances for shows to explore minor characters, chances for different show runners to direct episodes, chances for writers to explore a stupid little plot that experiments a little and takes some risks, etc. But who am I kidding? I just want Cheers, but set in Quark's bar with Morn, O'Brien spitting facts, Dax, Harry Kim helping tend bar for some reason, and occasionally Troi with either Worf or Riker dropping by like Fraiser and Diane.
