Hot Take Question

This is a purely hypothetical scenario that popped into my head simply because I ran across a post on this sub recently thanking SVU for still having full 22-25 episode seasons. I know that this will never happen so there’s no need to point that out in the comments.

But hear me out, if SVU had the option to cut down the number of episodes per season (to 12 or 13 lets say), which gave them a big enough budget to bring back the stellar guest stars, full cast, full courtroom scenes, a regular psychological profiler like Huang, and improved writing, would you as a fan approve or would you be pissed?

I’m basically asking, if this choice existed, would you all rather have quantity (a whole lot of meh episodes) or quality (a small number of excellent episodes)?
