Fassbinder's Berlin Alexanderplatz ran 15.5 hours. I saw about half of it in a movie theater about two decades ago. That was a TV serial some decades ago. Of great quality. I wonder why they never did a re-run as they repeat so many inferior series over and over again. Because a) inferior series are cheaper; b) there's no accounting for public taste; c) 'great quality' is a term involving value judgements which are no longer allowed or at best are relegated to the esoteric realm of public broadcasting, along with gaelic football and nihilistic Scandinavian movies.

Perhaps you're confusing depressed with cynical?

Perhaps you're confusing depressed with cynical? You sit out on the front porch? Oh, wait. That's stoics. You work out at the White Dog Gym?

Watched any of the TV shows this season? Talk about long.
Even if you tape them and cut out advertisements for a
40 minute show, they could reduce it to the 1950's half
hour shows and still keep the advs.
