I will venture a guess that Crankshaft is old enough to remember when a TV “season” meant a run of 39 episodes (followed by 13 “summer reruns”), and that the point of his wry, disparaging comment is that today a season is so puny you can “knock it off” in just a few hours. In other words, I suspect he’s being a geezer, complaining (indirectly) that the good old days were better.
