What season was it, the third, he wrote every episode by himself?
He wrote every episode from season 2, episode 18 (out of 22), "Confessions and Lamentations" through season 5, episode 10, "A Tragedy of Telepaths." That would be 59 episodes in a row. Season 5, episode 11 was written by Neil Gaiman, and then jms wrote the last 11 episodes of the series.
Of 110 episodes he wrote a total of 92 (if my math is correct). That's 12 in season 1, 15 in season 2, all 22 in season 3, all 22 in season 4, and 21 in season 5. Plus the 2 hour pilot and the made-for-Sci-Fi movies.
For all the praise that's heaped on David R. Kelley, or Sorkin, JMS should be recognized as the best of the best.
Agreed, with the possible exception of Joss Whedon. And jms is much more prolific that Joss.
