Breaking Bad is having ever more viewers each year, and I guarantee the filming costs will only hurt new productions, not this one.
Things should not go on forever, and I get annoyed when they do.
It's definitely not exclusive the the US, but it does happen there more than anywhere else from what I see. The execs really do seem to like flogging the proverbial dead horse. I mean look at The Simpsons. Just about the greatest, most influential show of all time and yet it's a shadow of its former self. I hate seeing Homer being completely unfunny. It muddies the waters.
I like the British formula... Less episodes, higher quality. And know when you've run your course and it's time to do something new. Not always, but it's an improvement.
