Agreed. And then agreed again.

Comic books were what immediately came to mind, well after all the thoughts about different serialized TV shows, and having just recently completed Planetary, a 27-issue series that took about 10 years to finish but that I read in trades, I think sometimes its more effective to wait a month between issues.
