Remember The Good Old Days?

Remember back when TV shows made about 24 episodes a year, and they ran them all back-to-back, and then ran them all again during "rerun" season?

Of course, the "sweeps" concept is to blame -- the networks need new shows in both February and May, so we end up having reruns of everything in March and April.

Of course, this could encourage me to go out and get a life -- naaahh, too much work. I'll just sit around and look at this picture I took of what appears to be the Heroes soundstage at Universal Studios:
