I've told you numerous times, it's not a knock.
Creative content isn't a push button operation. If you write a good score or script in 40 hours. You don't write a great score or script by adding 10 or 20 hours more.
You seem to be conflating the logistics of the . . . less . . . creative details like sets, casting, location scouting, continuity, wardrobe, effects, etc., with the creative process. Those things can be hammered out with recruitment and investment.
Are you seriously suggesting that a Lorre or a Milch or an Abrams create twice as good a product in a given 2 weeks than they do in a given week?
Appreciate time and logistics, but that's not the same as creative.
Heck, watch retrospectives on any great show, and there are tons of anecdotes where the best moments were punched up on the spur of the moment, minutes to air. Or a genius plot that drives a season coming from a dream or a drunken encounter or a chance conversation.
There's a reason that 'stroke of genius' is a cliche and not 'lunch pail of genius.'

Great things are created through hard work. If a show isn't well made to begin with nobody will give two shits about those anecdotes or it's "strokes of genius"
Where you got the inspiration for a plot, song hook, chord progression, is irrelevant. The real work is turning it into something that people will love.
The Beatles could write hit songs in 15 min because of 1000's and 1000's of hrs they put into mastering their craft. Not to mention elite, natural musical talent to go along with it.
