Modern shows are lazy, they are like 6, 10 episodes tops. The simpsons in the 90s before they sucked did almost 30. They would take summer off, then breaks on xmas and spring but a show a week otherwise.
Dude… That was annual, too. These modern day 8-episode shows will have YEARS between seasons. Like, motherfucker, half your scenes are green screen in a big sound studio – what the fuck is taking you so long?!
I would actually argue the opposite. Modern movie plots are an ADD fever dream. There are so many things going on that keeping track is an absolute chore.
No they are not. I cannot watch them unless i speed them up past what Netflix allows me. They are so slow and information sparse that i cannot watch them.
Depending on what shows you watched, plenty from the 90s/00s assumed viewers wouldnt make it for the airing once a week. So they did fluff a bunch and rely on “this week’s monster” rather than dense series plots. I remember despising dragon ball z (my brothers favorite) because multiple episodes would go by with fuckin NOTHING happening.
I was always mad that Goku would finally make it to Namek, then for some reason next week they would time jump backwards and he’d be back in the hyperbaric training chamber. It felt like DBZ groundhog month.
If you are mad about missing the actual meat of the show like I was, I highly recommend “Dragon Ball Kai” - it’s DBZ with the filler removed!
It’s not just me, right? Modern movies and shows have less things happen in same duration of time.

They have to wait for Ai tokens to replenish.

Films maybe, but Netflix appears to pad shows’ runtime without shame.
I think you’re both right, somehow.

You need to relax my dude
