>old tv show
>make one set that you will reuse 50,000 times
>shit out 50 episodes a year
>costs nothing

>modern tv show
>costs 500 million dollars per season
>only 8 episodes
>shot and filmed like a cinema movie

Any rational reason why studios do this?
Normies dont even care, they would rather watch the same 500 episodes of the Office and Big bang theory on a loop than any new golden turd
Why dont they just make a new sitcom for pennies?

boomies had to watch whatever goyslop was on TV

The cast probably cost a pretty penny.

Competition is high and people have higher standards when it comes to visuL fidelity.

Everything else (like the dogshit post above) is just cope.

Because the industry doesn't exist to make good media, it now exists to spend the money
Every minute of that show requires paying hundreds of people loads of money, most of them do fuck all. It's a massive con and they're all in on it

>>218224086
Then where does the cost come from?
>>
>>218224114
Take a look at how long the credits are now. A bunch of bullshit producers, consultants, etc. Money laundering. Cast. Writers make more. Publicity and marketing. You ever heard of TV shows having red carpet premieres before? All that shit ads cost.

my non meme answer is two
>we are cherry picking california
>no accounts for how expensive it is to feed people over long periods of time
may sound stupid but just feeding your team, depending the size is a 8 figure expensive. Not too mention insuring it. Its almost where hollywood is at uwe bole method, they have to construct the appearance of extreme failure or they are going to get raped in taxes. Im not buying the costs either. Legally, netflix, disney etc can shuffle failed total projects whereever they want and dump the cost. The answer is very likely simple, the show simply dont cost as much as they say and its a tax filing scheme

That's sitcoms, sitcoms do that and still do. Sitcoms were always looked down on because they are cheap
>>
>>218224086
The same administrative bloat you see in universities and businesses. You need to pay 6 figure salaries to a "cultural sensitivity advisor" and "intimacy coordinator" to stand on set and do nothing.

because video/tv content use to be you waited until a certain time, on a certain day, then you tuned into one of the big three networks to watch whatever they offered during your free time to watch. Late 1980s saw FOX come along and slowly claw it's way to a 4th network. The CW/WB never really got past tier 2.
And that it.... That was your only market comp. M to F for 3 hours of prime time 8pm until 11pm. Now it's on demand offerings. Pay subscriptions and decades of past content too. Along with youtube, video games etc etc.... Nothing from the old model would work now.
Like what was the last big cultural relevant, everyone watching prime time network show? Lost? Like big bang had viewers but no one talked about that show.
