Why can't they decide on a certain number of episodes for each show, like they do with the evening dramas in Japan? That way we'd get rid off half-assed attempts at new twists and turns just to drag the show on for a couple more seasons.

Actually American Dramas such as 24, Prison Break, as well as LOST and others are quite popular in Japan. Many are rent-able in video rental shops or when they are old enough got to Cable/Broadcast Satellite. I have Japanese friends begging me for copies of 24 even if they aren't subbed.
Korean and Chinese Dramas are doing quite well and can last for HUNDREDS of episodes. I had to stop for health reasons.
Short and concise American dramas to exist as well but I get your point.
Also to the point when someone is so into a drama, sometimes they really don't want to know when it ends. Why stop with a good thing?
