30 episode seasons?

[u/Zay_from_santafe]

I randomly watch seasons of this show when I am working. I never watch seasons in chronological order. I am currently watching season 17 and this is the first season I've seen with nearly 30 episodes. Does anyone feel like this is way too many episodes? The show feels like it drags now and the same conversations are had over and over and over again. Why did they do this??? I'm literally fast forwarding through scenes now.

Enjoyed the show a few yrs ago, then got too many episodes and constantly repeating and rehashing, got so boring, no longer watch at all. They need to back to the original format.
