I say bring back 1987 - 1994 when television series production was on top of it.

Simply put 2 thing decide if a show gets a 8-13ep season or 22+. Production cost and viewership. Shows like game of thrones have extremely high cost and only appeal to a certain market so you get 10ep seasons of some of the best tv man has ever made, but shows like vampire diaries and supernatural cost fall less to make have a wider target range due to being on basic tv vs hbo and quiet frankly they dont give a shit if the story is repeative cause people still tune in and you get 20+ eps.
