Is "Running" an example of how a large cast can work?
Running had perhaps the best balance of all 9 cast members in Season 1. Even Nancy O. didn't get Nancied too bad. All the girls had at least a few lines. If anyone got Nancied, it was Blair since this episode probably had her fewest lines in Season 1.

The most even distribution of lines during the first season occurs in "The Return of Mr. Garrett" and "Flash Flood", where no girl is given fewer than 11 lines.
Nancy pretty much gets Nancied, with just 6 lines. Her average, for the season, is 13, so she gets about half of her average. |

I don't think of R as the best example of an ensemble show because Nancy is indeed Nancied compared to all the others. Flash Flood is always what I think of as the best example of an ensemble show (RoMG is very good too, though Mr. Garrett is a guest star throughout the whole thing, thereby taking up more line space).
