When the M*A*S*H finale aired on CBS in February 1983, the series was far from over. Fox had the challenge of selling the series into syndication, and when a television station purchased a syndication package of M*A*S*H, they would receive a “syndication kit.” In this week’s post, see the contents of a syndication kit from 1984!

do you believe that 22 episode seasons are now "dead"?

For the most part, yeah. I do think there are a lot of factors that go into this:

1) Higher production costs leads to less episodes, especially since TV shows nowadays are pulling in A-list stars and putting out blockbuster-level effects. As someone studying entertainment law, the logistics behind making a show is so complex and costly that it’d be incredibly difficult to maintain high-level quality over a 22-episode run. So, it’s either less episodes/high quality or more episodes/less quality, and people are more likely to choose the former.

2) Because of streaming services, syndication isn’t as big of an issue. So there isn’t as much of a need for TV seasons to be 22-episodes long.

3) Much less tolerance from present day audiences for fillers/episodes that don’t progress the story. Just as an example of this, there’s a youtuber who goes by the name BasicallyIDoWrk who was doing a stream in which he showed his audience the “right” way to watch a show. His plan was to just watch the first two episodes, then skip to the end. Keep in mind, he was talking about Ahsoka, so even a 8-episode show is asking too much for people nowadays.

4) To hone in the point that “filler” episodes are no longer acceptable, remember the backlash to Eleven’s standalone episode in Stranger Things season 2. People HATED that episode and one of the chief complaints I saw was that it had nothing to do with the main storyline. And again, season 2 was only 9-episodes.

5) This is more of a personal observation of mine. I think people’s attention spans are much smaller nowadays, especially since a great deal of current entertainment is shorter and more centered on instant gratification. For example, Vine, TikTok, YouTube shorts, people focusing on hit singles rather than the whole album, and so on.

fadedsignals:

Trans-Lux moved into television and partnered with Adventure Cartoon Productions to create animated programs, including “Felix the Cat,” “Gigantor,“ and "The Mighty Hercules.”

This ad also mentions a show called “Mack and Myer for Hire,” a 1963-1964 children’s sitcom about two handymen whose get-rich-quick-schemes backfire. Each episode was about 10 minutes long. It was designed to be shown as part of a longer program of shorts, which was a common format for afternoon children’s programming.

In 1967, Trans-Lux joined with a New York City recording company to provide an English-translated version of the Japanese animated series “Speed Racer.” Trans-Lux sold off its animated television holdings in 1969.

My Daily Show merch pile has grown again, with something very odd and unique.

This is a pitch book for bringing a syndicated weekend version of The Daily Show to terrestrial television channels. This is something that, to my knowledge, never ended up happening - the Global Editions made for overseas channels are close to what it seems like this Syndicated Daily Show wanted to do.

This book is VERY Marketing-focused, therefore making it easily the Daily Show thing I understand the least on a factual level, but they worked to sell the SHIT out of this idea.

I remember when TDS was on virtually every platform and their website was an ingenious, easily navigable tag-based wonderland of clips [/bitter]

I also remember watching it on my iPod. Don't get old kids.

It's honestly cool to know just how successful some of these omnipresent shows were at the time. I don't think I would have guessed this.

If you love numbers, btw, this is the Daily Show product for you -

Rob and Sam ❤️

At the risk of alienating whoever has made this middle-aged man their emotional support blorbo... who the fuck is the dude on the far left? I thought I knew every correspondent from this era but like truly, who IS that guy?? This has managed to distract me from Beatles Bangs era John Oliver, WHO THE HELL IS THAT

YOU HAVE A HUGE OPPORTUNITY COMEDY CENTRAL!

What IS genuinely intriguing to me is that CC ISN'T the commissioner of this. I've never thought much about syndication but I always assumed it was driven by parent companies of shows. The fact that, at least here, that wasn't the case is fascinating.

I have a lot of other photos but there's a ten-pic limit, so I will end with this delightful Smart Art:

"Comedy Central receives big check (Finance $$$)" made me fucking laugh out loud. I love this page.

Other notes:

- I did not take pictures of the multiple pages on a case study about the syndication performance of a show called "Girls Behaving Badly", but if that's of interest to someone, I'll snap some pics.

- This book is HEFTY for a spiral bound thing. I could probably knock someone out with it.

101 episodes. Does this = syndication?

Well, past seasons of Outlander have already been streaming on Netlix and Amazon Prime, so I imagine that will continue. If you mean syndication on regular Network TV, in the US, that would seem impossible, given the explicit sex scenes and violence. They'd have to cut out most of each episode. It will be interesting to see where the series ends up after everything wraps after Season 8.

As an aside, people saying "if Sam and Cait weren't happy to film Outlander they wouldn't have signed up for another season," wrong. They were already contracted for 8 seasons. I've talked about this before. They signed on for 8 seasons. It would be very difficult and costly to try to get out of those contracts. So, they were both pretty much stuck until Season 8.

Carson Blackwelder at Good Morning America:

Ryan Seacrest is replacing Pat Sajak as host of "Wheel of Fortune." Seacrest, who also currently hosts "American Idol," will take over hosting duties from Sajak, who recently announced he was stepping down from the position after the upcoming 41st season of the beloved game show, beginning in 2024. "I'm truly humbled to be stepping into the footsteps of the legendary Pat Sajak," Seacrest, 48, wrote in a statement posted to Instagram on Tuesday. "I can say, along with the rest of America, that it's been a privilege and pure joy to watch Pat and Vanna on our television screens for an unprecedented 40 years, making us smile every night and feel right at home with them." [...] Seacrest, who said he is "grateful" for the opportunity," went on to talk about how the move feels "full circle" for him, as he reflected on one of his "first jobs": hosting the short-lived game show "Click" from Merv Griffin from 1997 to 1999. Griffin is a TV legend, having created of both "Jeopardy!" and "Wheel of Fortune."

Ryan Seacrest has been named host of Wheel of Fortune to replace Pat Sajak, effective the end of the upcoming 2023-24 season.
