Just picked up your book since I was waiting for the updated edition, but very excited to read it!

This kind of touches upon your recent article on the defense of the episode as a structure, but what kind of weird innovation do you wish TV shows would try? Maybe I have the completely wrong read of this but with a bunch of shows debuting on streaming sites it'd seem that there'd be a lot more flexibility. Why haven't we seen shows have like 17-episode seasons, or some episodes that are 70 minutes long while other episodes in the season are only 35 minutes? Like maybe if Louie was a Netflix show he'd do that with the season that had a couple different long arcs.

Watched the first 2 episodes of J&AWJ&A and loved em. You generally gave better scores to the newer episodes; as a newer fan who really likes the later episodes, what are your guy's thoughts on the "old J&A episodes vs. newer J&A episodes" debate? Or is that like asking which child is your favorite?
