   Not really relevant since that's not what the original person said.   
   They weren't talking about season length, they said:   
      
         "Instead of going on and on for years, British series   
           are short. Yes, there are exceptions, but most TV shows   
           in the UK are short-lived!"   
      
      
   Besides, that's not true either. There are some shows that have shorter   
   seasons (in fact there are some that are basically an on-going set of   
   "mini-series" episodes), but it's not "most" ... although it may well   
   be "most" of the few UK shows that Americans see.
