Short answer: Logistics of equipment, actors, and crew usually remain in the same place for a longer period of time. This means less down time building up and tearing down sets and that means more time filming. Also, TV shows expand on dialogue far more and scenes where actors are talking an extended period of time are by far the easiest to build length in the medium.
