There\u2019s a consensus for how many seasons to give a hit TV show before calling it quits. Two is probably the optimal number for a comedy \u2013 think The Office (the UK one), Fleabag, Fawlty Towers etc. For dramas, you\u2019re probably pushing it beyond five (Breaking Bad) or six (The Sopranos). There are notable long-running exceptions \u2013 It\u2019s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Curb Your Enthusiasm etc \u2013 but as a rule, they tend to drop off a cliff.<\/p>\n

Given how easy it is to make a great show with the right people and the right format, it\u2019s hard to see an end in sight for uber-popular shows in a way that similar TV entertainment franchises can\u2019t manage (Bake Off jumped the shark around the time it left the BBC in 2016, and even Taskmaster began to wane after Mike Wozniak gave himself piles<\/a> seven seasons ago). The Guardian\u2019s own Comfort Eating With Grace Dent just returned for its eighth season (episode one<\/a> is with Rag\u2019n\u2019Bone Man), while Off Menu<\/a> \u2013 whose success is now so all-pervasive that a new recycling podcast we review this week features a segment where they riff on its classic \u201cPoppadoms or bread?\u201d catchphrase \u2013 is on to its 11th. Louis Theroux has just launched<\/a> his third season on Spotify, after two on the BBC, kicking off with a typically candid episode with former adult actor Mia Khalifa. Shagged Married Avoid seems to have done away with seasons entirely and just be on an endless march<\/a> to the climax of time itself.<\/p>\n
