Shopping episodes, date episodes, meditation episodes, bath episodes, etc...  (with little to no adventuring in them) were not done as an alternative to more adventuring and more storytelling as they did not preclude those activities - they just delayed them.  It wasn't like the decision was to either hunt down Trent Ikithon or go shopping...2.) CR does do some things differently because they have an audience, but at the core, it is just a group of people playing D&D.  They're charismatic people playing a story driven game with an exception DM.  That is the formula.  If they push aside character moments (including shopping, meditation, bathes, etc...) they'd be just another hack and slash game and would not be capitalizing upon the distinct advantages that have made CR successful - the charisma of the cast.3.) Not everybody will like the approach CR uses.  They do.  And as they're the only ones that get a vote and so far have built a pretty hefty financial empire for themselves based upon that approach, I doubt they'll upset the boat.</blockquote>
