I just read online that the season finale of Matlock is in two weeks, April 23

The show starts late in the season; shows maybe five new episodes; goes on hiatus for "winter break"; comes back in March; shows maybe six new episodes; and then the season is over.

What the hell? I'm old enough to remember when shows had new episodes from September all the way until the beginning of June. Bygone days.

1. Yeah. A season of shows used to be 22 or more episodes. Now 13 or less (especially streaming services)

I liked Matlock's first season, but it got a little repetitive so I haven't watched this season. How is/was it?

2. I like it. There are a lot of twists

and seriously, who doesn't like Kathy Bates? She is so talented.

On the show, I especially Iike the relationship between Matty and Olympia.

3. Fawlty Towers, the BBC classic sitcom with John Cleese,

aired 12 episodes across two series (seasons) in 1975 and 1979. That was all.

4. I know. Years ago the season was way longer. It's not right 😞

🚨 Spoiler Alert 🚨

This new AI expert/Olympia love interest is interesting. The actor that plays him was one of the stars of FBI Most Wanted and he helped Olympia win her case last night. So who knows where they are going with his character? He also just so happens to be married to Olympia (Skye P Marshall) in real life.

Speaking of real life couples on the show judging by the preview for next week Jason Ritter's wife will return in the next episode. I have actually been a little disappointed in this season but looking like they might finish up strong.

6. Return to Mayberry

Just prior to playing the role of Ben Matlock in the original Matlock -- Andy Griffith played Sheriff Andy Taylor one last time..
