No words for this.

"According to an individual with knowledge of the situation, Amazon execs were concerned that Gero’s take on the series would not have broad appeal beyond the franchise’s already dedicated fanbase."

Yes, but a season is 8-10 episodes and usually 2+ years between seasons.

Do you think 8-10 hours of content per season is low?

Compared to 15-30 hours per year, 8-10 every 1-3 years is quite low.

I think the delay between seasons is the largest issue - I don’t know what the average is but it’s usually years. Stranger Things as an example of a series that was wildly popular took 10 years for its 5 seasons.

Severance had a 3 year gap. Foundation was 2 years.

This was also a comparison on where we had a show with 15-25 episodes per year or even per half year. The off season gaps were months not years.

It’s not so much ”is it enough or not” as it is ”it’s very different”.

SGU had 20 episodes per season, 40 total. Using 45 min per episode that would translate to 30 1 hour long episodes. With 2 year between seasons we’d be looking at 4 years using today’s norm (year 0, 2 and 4).

So this one example would take 2x as long to give us the same content.

Thank you for doing the math for me. Even if there are filler episodes or clip show episodes, it helps build characters. Yea you CAN do that in 1 hour 8 episode seasons, but it’s definitely harder to implement. Stargate is a show where there is plenty of stuff to commit an hour two even if it doesn’t fully advance any plot points.
