I looked up necco wafers from your post out of curiosity and apparently they've been around since the 1840s and tried to change up their recipes in 2009 to appeal to modern mothers or something with all natural coloring and flavors which is patently insane because the only people who eat necco wafers are 70+ years old so they lost 35% of their sales and reverted soon after lol

As long as an old person ate one before they reverted and doing so made them cry with disappointment, I can call it even. At least werther's original have value.

Tv shows increasingly moving toward the short 8-10 episode seasons and/or splitting up a season into two parts is bad. I don't care that more episodes means more filler, at least it will be more (show i like). I mean, stargate sg1 managed 20+ episode seasons for 10 years and theres maybe only 6 or 7 episodes I skip every rewatch so it can be done without sacrificing too much quality.

I don't mind short seasons but I'm a little annoyed that Amazon Prime has recently had some shows release 5 episodes, wait a few months, and release the other 5. I just want to sit and marathon the new Tick drat it.

I'm more frustrated with the gaps between season halves really. I kind of get why they do it, but binge-watching has ruined my ability to enjoy watching when I have to wait so long for the end. I like the model some netflix shows do and they just make the entire season available on day 1. Even if it's a short season at least I can be be done with it in a couple days instead of spreading it out over 6 months or whatever.

I don't care that more episodes means more filler, at least it will be more (show i like). I could not disagree more, the less but longer episodes trend is a good thing as it ensures quality over quantity. The former being the issue nowadays over the other. There is an abundance of painfully mediocre shows (Stargate being an example) that you don't even have the time to watch half of with their 20 episode minimum structure. We should have 8 episode thing plus make sure that most series has only one or two seasons, thus guaranteeing us that it has consistency and a payoff instead of more seasons made just for the sake of making megabucks.

I find that even with the lowered episode count that most shows are still garbage and full of filler. Walking Dead, Sherlock, etc. All that's happening is that there are less jobs for writers. The ratio of good to crap is still the same.

I know the general consensus is that watching television is not a hobby, and I think I'm on board with that. What about critical analysis of television? Does that count? Sometimes I just want to watch TV but I want to do it in the most productive way possible.

Yes, though I'd say critical thinking of almost anything can be a hobby. It's not just about considering the artistic merits or themes of a relatively small canon, either. You can think critically about the production of a reality tv show, too.

I think TV shows and seasons should be shorter. Six half-hour episodes is plenty if they're good. And if people like it and there's enough potential to make more, make a second season. Also, no loving season-spanning cliffhangers. Finish what you started and assume you won't get to come back and do more. You can leave some stuff open or write a deliberately ambiguous ending, but don't make the last episode of season one a glorified trailer for season two. The end of each season should be a reasonably satisfying place to stop watching. And I prefer them to be released weekly rather than all at once, because it makes it easier to talk about them with other people since you don't need to work out where everyone's watched up to - everyone's a the same place or maybe one episode behind. When Netflix or whoever puts out a 13-episode show all at once, some people watch it immediately, some people watch it in chunks, some people watch it one episode at a time, and no one's on the same page.

As close to baking childhood disappointment into a cookie as modern technology can come. I'm all for the unpopular opinions, but this is just flat out abusive and borderline sociopaths. Either Samoa's or Thin Mints are the best cookies. And for my money Thin Mints right out of the freezer is the way to go.

I'm not asking for constant bombardment, but they should at least follow script-writing 101 and progress something with each and every scene. Something needs to have changed when you cut to a new location or character.
