Have you ever loved something, only to realize it’s a commercial flop or just obscure? What’s something that deserves more light than it got?

Or it’s the opposite. I refuse to watch shows without giving them my undivided attention, but that kind of pacing begs to be background noise while you do something else.
Sometimes there is nothing significantly plot-relevant happening for entire episodes at a time, both for bad reasons (the incentive structure for children’s show rewards empty filler slop with zero plot value because it’s easy to re-run) and less bad reasons (children like repetition). Both of which are painfully evident throughout the whole experience.
Good for you if that’s your jam, if you find it comforting or like it as background noise or like it because it leads to better paced seasons down the line or whatever, but I refuse to accept that it’s an issue for me to dislike objectively horrendous pacing.
When other people enjoy it and consider it good and you’re like “No, trash, horrendous!” I think the issue is on your side. Also it’s okay if you don’t like it, but if that is what you’re citing as the reason then you clearly do have a short attention span, and struggle to focus on things. That’s also okay, but don’t expect people to listen to your denials while you rip on other things and blame those things. Enjoy what you want. But I disagree that the show has “horrendous pacing”.
