Yes, it's true that American series run for a long time. In many cases it's really bad for the story - but for comedy,i find that the story is of less importance and good jokes at a rapid pace are the core - and good comedies can do quite a few great seasons before they lost their charm.
- zem 12y agoi remember watching my way through rowan atkinson's "thin blue line", and being really taken aback that it had so short a run for so enjoyable a comedy. when i asked some british friends about it their opinion was that it was likely written to be two seasons from the outset and then just not extended for the sake of extending it, rather than an indefinite run with each season's existence depending on the popularity of the one before.
