Why is Season 3 the shortest?
Anyone know why there were less episodes produced during the third season of 'The Untouchables?'
S1: 30 episodes (does not include the two-part pilot that was broadcast on Westinghouse Desilu Playhouse)
S2: 32 epiodes
S3: 28 episodes
S4: 30 episodes
My guess is that it's because they went over budget with two extra episodes the previous year and had to make up for it in the third season. Does this explanation seem plausible...? Or is there another reason that season 3 was shortchanged?
