I recently read an article about how newer shows like <em>The Pitt </em>and <em>Poker Face </em>use a more classic TV format, and how their influence could inspire other titles to return to this structure. I half agree with this article. I think that the long production times between seasons are definitely impacting audiences' attention spans, and this is because they are so overly ambitious. Shooting something compared to reading it on the page is two different things. However, I also wouldn't consider these shows to be particularly simple or straight-forward, either.
