I understand why UK tv has shorter seasons (series) but does that mean there were constantly new shows coming on all the time? How did scheduling work? In America 'Frasier' or 'Friends' would run on a specific night at a specific time for 24 episodes plus reruns during the summer. In the UK instead of a timeslot reserved for a specific show would there simply be a "comedy/sitcom" slot that would run four or five different series at 6 episodes each to fill out the yearly schedule?
