More likely, in my opinion, is the the stories can also be too long and all over the place.

Compare the size of the story to another medium with different constraints. A 13- or 26-episode TV series can usually make a decent adaptation of a novel. A movie always has to cut a lot of stuff out.

The pendulum swings both ways. Unfortunately, I have seen far to many instances of episodic products that are excessively drawn out and waste my time.

That's true, the potential is higher with TV I think think though. Story telling is a skill that anyone can screw up independent of the medium
