As long as we're playing the game, keep in mind that the vast majority of Aaron Spelling's shows were weekly prime-time dramas. The MOST successful of his shows might have 250 episodes or so total over a decade of production. (A quick spot check shows Beverly Hills 90210 with 296, 7th Heaven with 243 and Dynasty with 220.) Compare that to a soap or game show, which back in the day would turn out that many every year. I guess soaps still do.
Spelling's output is remarkable, but when we're counting episodes, the tonnage of daytime television sets it apart from anything at night.
