OT: Totally P!ssed off at UPN

Syndication of a series can happen with any number of episodes. It's just 100 makes it far more attractive than 25, 50, or 70 episodes. It boils down to money and in this case, buying in bulk is better!

Atrocities, you forgot to highlight Bakula's comment about "We got one more season than UPn wanted to give us"

I remember reading somewhere that for a series to go into syndication, you need to have around a 100 episodes (Enterprise will have a total of 98 episodes). If there is more than that's even better, because there would be enough episodes to make it worth while syndicating. But too little, then you would be able to go through the entire series within a month or two, which would then repeat to much.

Think back to TOS. It had something like 78 episdoes and was king kong of the Syndication system for over 20 years.
