View Full Version : Please no more dailies

I love most of the shows on the network, but not every show needs a daily episode. Not sure if it's just me on not but I get a little annoyed with short episodes because I don't really have a chance to get into the show and then it's over. I also feel like the short dailies just adds to the stigma that the web is only good for short formats. I personally would rather see the time spent either on longer weekly shows or on a second weekly show with a shorter format, i.e. Tekzilla tips shows that give all of the tips of the dailies but in a single unified format.
That's just my little annoyance, one that won't make me stop watching, but an annoyance none the less. Not sure if anyone else feels this way or not, just thought I'd throw my feedback out there. Other than that, I'm still a huge fans and think you guys are doing a great job. Keep up the good work.

I know this. I also said it's not going to make me stop watching. I'm trying to give some constructive feedback here, otherwise how will they know what the viewers do and don't want to see.

Do people just not even read posts around here?

I'm not "whiney" about anything. I'm expressing my opinion about something that bugs me about the shows. If I'm not mistaken every show on Rev3 has asked time and time again for us to let them know what we think could be done to improve the shows and this is what I feel could be improved.
Beyond that I'm going several steps beyond what most posters do around here by expressing what I don't like but ALSO constructively telling the crew what I think could be done to resolve my concern. Whether they do it or not is up to them.
If you don't agree with me, that this is something that needs to be improved, then say you don't agree and carry on, don't gripe about and attack my opinion because it's different from yours.

Guys, he did a GOOD thing here. This isn't a "WTF is up with dailiez?!" thread, it was him politely trying to give some feedback. Wanting two weeklies as opposed to seven dailies is perfectly rational. No reason he can't say so here. Calm down.
Personally, I enjoy the dailies but I only watch them with iFanboy, and comics is something that lends itself well to daily news and upkeep. I can see how they might not flow with other shows, but I don't actually know.

I concur about the dailies. I feel like, if they're gonna do a daily show, why not do a new show instead of doing a shortened version of a weekly show?

Agreed. Most of the daily eps are absolutely void of worthwihle content and they, as a network, have enough problems trying to make decent eps of the shows they already make. It's like they made a really nice cocktail, and now they are just constantly adding ice to it, to try and make it last, and all it's done, is spoil the original taste.

I agree with both of these points. I would love to see FULL daily shows, but in lieu of that, I'd at least rather see a couple full length shows a week. Aside from Current, you rarely see tiny shorts like this on TV.
We need to put more energy into beating television at it's own game!
Also, guys, this is good constructive criticism. Please, enough with the flamebait.
