Gossip Girl: The Death of the 20+ Episode TV Season

Overall, while longer seasons may offer more content and opportunities for storytelling, the benefits of shorter seasons ultimately make it a better format choice for creating a compelling and engaging television show. While I loved having more episodes of Gossip Girl to consume, I would’ve preferred the show to have been left on a higher note rather than watch the mess of seasons four through six. By focusing on quality over quantity, television shows can provide viewers with an immersive and satisfying experience that will keep them coming back for more. Or, to put it in simpler terms, three words, ten letters: less is more.
