Reply to comment by blatantninja in TIL During the 20th century TV series that reached 100 episodes were generally preferred for syndication, since that meant stations could run 20 weeks of programming without repeating a story. In recent years that number has fallen to 88 episodes. by UndyingCorn

Idk if this is the exact same phenomena but studios nowadays don’t like running too many seasons bc the creators start to ask for raises. If you cancel everything after a season or two, you can keep wages lower.
