LOS ANGELES, CA — A bold new study theorizes that ancient peoples from the 1990s were able to make a season of a TV show in less than three years.
According to experts, the television landscape used to look quite different. Instead, 3 or more years in between 10-episode seasons, shows used to produce upwards of 22 episodes every single year.
"We don't know how they did it," Derek Williams said, a senior analyst at Ampere Analysis, which conducted the study. "The technology, whatever it was, no longer exists."
To make matters more complicated, network television used to produce all that content on a significantly smaller budget than modern-day streaming services provide.
"Back in the 90s there was this show called The X-Files that produced 20-25 episodes a year for about $30 million a season. Compare that to Stranger Things, which cost somewhere in the realm of $500 million for just eight episodes," explained Williams. "Just imagine if we had the same technology they had in the 90s. We could have had 22 episodes of Stranger Things, and also none of the homosexual stuff. It would have been incredible."
Researchers are now reportedly hard at work trying to rediscover the ancient technology used to make those old programs, hoping to uncover the lost secrets that made compelling television so quick to turn around.
At publishing time, Netflix announced a new show about the makers of the study, with the first two seasons expected to release before Fall of 2048.
