That's almost completely a relic nowadays though. Most things worth watching are on streaming, which has pretty much completely abandoned the 22 episode format and 6-10 seems to be where things have settled.

It's bizarre. Sometimes I pop into a streaming service and see a show from 5-10 years ago, originally syndicated from a TV channel, and it's not bad, but it's just... An OK idea drawn out until it's boring. OTOH we have these MCU shows now, barely (if at all) longer than a movie, but chopped into 6x20min episodes that give it a bumpy pacing and flow, and over before anything happens.

That seems to be changing, though, for many popular (expensive?) shows. Game of Thrones, Silicon Valley, all the recently-new Star Trek series, The Expanse, The Mandalorian, The Orville... They all have seasons in the ballpark of 10 episodes.

With the exception of The Orville, none of these were ever network shows, and only The Expanse aired on basic cable, which does often have ~13 episodes.

IT Crowd USA was supposed to be a primetime NBC sitcom.
