ginainthekingsroad: 3 separate yet equally important groups- the police, the DA, and the goddamn Batman (Law & Order Gotham)

Re: Ideal tv show length

Procedurals without a lot of focus on the characters' lives outside of work usually can field at least 7 seasons before declining. They're less common on tv these days but because they are also more likely to change up their main cast, it keeps things fresh. Hell, can you imagine if Law & Order had ended at season 5, Sam Waterston's first year on the show?

On the more recent side, The Closer stayed pretty evenly good for 7 seasons. After season 4 I think the writers realized that they were starting to get a little more routine and started some strong new plotlines about police bureaucracy in 5-6 (the various characters vying for Chief; introducing Captain Raydor and the Internal Affairs stuff as a foil to Brenda but making her not a one-dimensional antagonist) and in 6-7, having Brenda suffer some serious consequences for her more unsavory actions. As well she should.
