What he said makes perfect sense, and they all do it. South Park is one of the few TV series today to still shoot half-hour length episodes... just about every new main TV series is an hour long - more quantity - I don't want to sit in front of the TV for a whole hour at a time! I want to sit down for half an hour, watch a complete show/episode ... do something else, and then maybe watch another show for half an hour. But nooo... I get a great choice of quantity or more quantity. It wouldn't surprise me if TV series began broadcasting 2hr long episodes (and not just 2hr long "specials" - but 2hr episodes every damn episode!)
