Not only were the interruptions inside the episode important, the interruptions BETWEEN episodes was important. When these series are rewatched in marathon format, they just seem to have tons of cheesy unsatisfying twists, because there isn't the suspense of having to wait to see what happens.
I agree that this observation doesn't nessecarily hold for modern media which was designed to be marathoned from the outset ad-free. Commercial Breaks now seem like much more of an afterthought instead of something actually woven into the scriptwriting, which only make commercials more offensive.

- Falkon1313 4y agoI don't like marathoning shows even if they were designed for it. It's too easy to find a new show you like, watch the entire thing, and then just feel a sense of loss and forget about it. Especially with 'seasons' now being only 6-10 episodes instead of 22. I'd much rather watch one episode per night (or week) and have something to look forward to and enjoy for awhile. Plus it's nice to have variety - an episode of this show, an episode of that one.
