Jacobs is not wrong though. 3 hours is draining. For the audience and creative trying to keep everyone engaged. Vince doesn't care because more hours mean more money. His whole attitude is to sacrifice quality for cash. But imagine if someone told JJ Abrams or Joss Whedon "You're show is so great we want every episode to be two hours and run every week". No creative person would want that. On top of doing it in front of a live audience who will **** on it at a moments notice or worse, go silent and file for the exits.
And those guys would immediately see how watered down it would get with over-exposure. Long term thinking >>>> taking in every dime short term.
