I wonder if there weren't times when the writers might have been able to move the plot along more effectively if they weren't tied down to the no-more-than-five-or-six-actors-allowed-per-episode rule set up by the show's producers. Were there times when they had to delay a crucial scene to a later episode because it would have involved paying an additional actor or two? It seems like it might have been a bit of a strain to have to work under such conditions.
Anyone ever read any comments on this topic? Thanks.
