If you don’t think there’s enough time in the day to watch all of the TV that’s out there, 2016 didn’t exactly make your life easier. It turns out that, according to FX Networks Research, TV peaked again in 2016, producing 455 scripted series over the course of the year. This number outstrips 2015’s total of 421, which was a record at the time. Over the course of the decade, the number of scripted series has more than doubled, and only five years ago, there were just 266 scripted shows.
