so typically, tv shows are exclusive to one network or provider. once it goes into syndication, it basically means that other networks buy the rights to air reruns of that show. so it’s a way for the original producer of the show to continue to make money. in broadcast tv, they usually have a set schedule of when tv shows air, so they need lots of episodes in order to create a daily/weekly schedule for this show. nowadays with streaming, it doesn’t matter as much. any show can be leased to any other streaming provider.
