Anyone miss old network-style TV shows?

I miss the consistency of release dates :(

Finish a show in May, comes back in 4/5 months in September/October, and that's how it always is.

But nowadays, you finish the season, and you have no idea if the next one is coming same time next year, or in 18 months, or 2 years, or 3 years.

I've gone through the trouble of tracking when TV shows are filming, how long it took the previous season to get through post production, just to get a projection of when they will come back.

Pick a month and stick with it, I say. Every April, or every second April, drop the new season. I'm sick of being deathly excited and not knowing how many days to countdown haha.
