100 Episodes
In the U.S. television industry, 100 episodes is the traditional threshold for a television series to enter syndicated reruns. One hundred episodes are advantageous for stripped syndication because it allows for 20 weeks of weekday reruns (depending on the number of episodes produced once the program debuts in syndication) without repeating an episode, and such shows can be sold for higher per-episode pricing. One of the first series made specifically for syndication, the 1953–55 sitcom ''Life with Elizabeth'', purposely ended its run after only 65 episodes, concerned that producing more would saturate the market and reduce the syndication package's value. In recent years, the minimum number of episodes for off-network, stripped syndication has been set at 88 (typically four seasons of 22 episodes), although some programs have been relatively successful in syndication with fewer episodes. ''The Jetsons'', for instance, only aired 75 episodes. Overview Syndication is often a pr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
