Why are ALL TV shows, drama and comedy, soap operas?

I get that people like to watch TV more than to do things, but there are no shows that are episodic with no continuing story line. None. It's always all or nothing with TV, but isn't it a bit much that there isn't even one show that you can watch and then skip a couple of weeks and then watch and not be out of the loop?

    if you like the show most people are going to watch every episode until they get tired of it and stop.Most shows have a different story/plot each episode that continues on and connects to the next.

    They want people to be sucked in and watch every episode. If people didn't watch every episode they would lose ratings and money

    Comedies usually are shows you don't really have to watch every episode though.

    It seems to me that with most comedies, you can miss episodes, and though you missed part of the story, what you missed won't detract from enjoying the episode you are watching. Each episode is a little story in itself, and complete enough to be entertaining.

    No that's boring. Only one I can think of is SpongeBob.
