Except for all the ones that were, including Star Trek TNG and Max Headroom, which started in the UK but was retooled into the US series with largely a new cast, that was NTSC and shot at 30 FPS on film.
It was a cost saving measure because ( and I don't fully understand this so I didn't mention it) they altered both the cameras and the telecine machines to create film frames that were approx. 25% smaller than a normal exposure. Giving them 30 FPS but retaining the exact same length of footage as normally shot 24fps film.
