There’s a flaw in the reasoning here. If you ask fans of a series if they
want more or fewer episodes, of course people will say they want more of
what they like. But I believe most people who aren’t just using TV as white
noise would prefer fewer well written and well produced episodes to a 22
episode run of an assembly-line procedural like Law and Order.

Oh yeah, there’s also the fact that Preston Beckman molests collies.
