15 minutes is not long enough

For sure. This show is much better then its given credit

It could easily pull off full half hour episodes.

Yeah, it should be 30 mins with a fake commercial in between.

Still I love the show, but I'm hoping for the quintessential element for all dramas, and I'm hoping they'll do something like it for the season finally: They need to give everyone Cancer. Every drama does it, and seeing the whole cast go through that whole process would be beyond funny. They don't have to die from it, well... maybe they can kill someone and bring them back (like have them find and use the cure for cancer again, but turns out they had leukemia and cancer and they die from that) I'm off topic, but 30 Mins, YES!

I think 15 minutes is perfect for this type of show. It's mainly just a string of jokes and sketches. That might become a bit tiresome strung out for 30 minutes at a time.

I guess I'm the only one who liked the 5 minute episode sets from Season 1 A LOT more than the 15 minute sets they used for season 2?

It just seemed, like with the shorter format, they could focus on random absurd one-liners thrown at us in quick succession. With the longer format, they had to settle into real setups like any other show.

And what is the back story on the format change anyway? The first season was WAY dirtier with an almost constant string of sex jokes, F-Bombs, and crass humor with shock humor as the main component. The second season took all of that almost completely out. Was Season 1 written as part of a bigger show that never happened (you know, tiny little bits to be thrown in between sketches) and then they were picked up by Adult Swim for Season 2 and told to "turn it down a few notches"?

Anyway, I loved the first season for its unique originality, and constant satirical assault on the vastly overdone and cliche "hospital show." I think making it a full show would turn it into just another one of these shows they are making fun of in the first place.
