a breakneck speed compared to the sloth-like speed they move now, but
that was before "Beverly Hills 90210" changed everything.  The real
irony, though, is that when they used to move faster, they had 10
minutes more story time because there were 10 minutes fewer commercials
per hour.  Now they have 10 minutes less story time because of 10
minutes more commercials and it just never seem to end.

The big difference is that shows now follow more characters at the same time. As there are more subplots, the main plot is going to be revealed more slowly and be more nuanced.
