I wish EGB's forty episodes had been spread out over two or three seasons, only because I believe this would have minimalised the number of really bad ones. The most EGB episodes any one person wrote is three.* Personally, I could've done without the likes of 'Dog Days' (boring and lacklustre) and 'Witchy Woman' (painfully shallow characterisation) making up the numbers. Duane Capizzi, and a few other hand-picked writers, putting some real thought into some new episodes would give my life a few hours' more pleasure every year or so, at least (sure, not everyone is going to feel the same way, for any number of reasons).
*Only Steve Roberts has as many as three writing credits: 'The Infernal Machine', 'Grease' and 'The Sphinx', all of which I consider to be good, strong episodes. So in that case, I'd have been glad to have him back on the writing team for a twenty-episode Season 2.
