Also, the pacing was indeed much, MUCH slower than by today's standards, and stories were drawn out sometimes over 4 weeks, even up to 8 weeks. That's how movies and shows were back then. It's one of the things I enjoy about the old shows, you could really get immersed in a story over a long period of time, and really get to know the characters. Even now, if I watch an old story, I try and watch one installment, then a couple of days later, watch the next installment, etc., instead of bang-bang and its over in an hour.

In America, at least where I live, they showed a whole instead of just 1 part a week.

Where I lived we got two episodes a week on PBS, Saturday mornings. About 11 o'clock, late enough that the cartoons were over on the main channels.
