#the bbc should pick up sunny

[margle]

im fine with a short season but I wish they were allowed to do long episodes.

I would honestly prefer 6 x 50 minute episodes over 8 x 22 minute episodes.

the christmas episode is the longest so far (43 minutes) and I think it proves they can write really well in a longer format.

idk I think my most common complaint of the recent seasons (and the series as a whole) is that the pacing often feels off. the endings can feel rushed or unfinished and sometimes exposition can feel frustrating because the short running time leaves no room to breathe, meaning it can turn into an rushed dump of information (the gang gets cursed).

imo sunny works best in longer comedic scenes rather than rapid fire cuts. that interview scene in sweet dee has a heart attack is so much funnier in the bloopers because they expand upon each joke. for me, one of the best scenes of season 16 was mac and charlie at bonnie and mrs mac's house in frank shoots every member of the gang. it is given room to escalate within the scene, until it becomes most chaotic.

comparatively, in the gang gets cursed, each flashback is funny but not long enough to feel comedically satisfying. it cuts too fast to the next idea.

ik massive changes to the format are normally hated by sunny fans but if they keep doing more complicated episodes, I think they would benefit from more breathing room.
