The 1st series is only 6 episodes because it is co-produced by BBC2 and 6 episode series are not unusual for British programs. Comedy Central probably figured they would go with the shorter series just incase, then if it does well they can always fork over more money for a 12-13 episode second series.

I know but there are plenty of BBC shows that get 12-13 episodes (Life on Mars, Ashes to Ashes, Robin Hood, Torchwood [not this season anyway]) that are hour long dramas. A 6 episode commitment on something co-produced is just week. I'm just dissapointed is all. It's over way to fast. If they were gonna go for 6 episodes they should have made them hour long.

If you ask me Comedy Central needs this show. Southpark is awesome, but it's aged, do they really have anything else? This show is hilarious. It's rough around the edges and needs some smoothing out but it can really hit a stride and has lots of potential. That's all I'm saying.

I enjoyed the first five, for the most part, and look forward to the finale. I think they might do well with a comedy that relies so heavily on a limited bag of tricks to keep it on the short series format. If it turns out they made good revenues on this one, make six more. I also like the immediacy an arc takes on in the shorter season.
 

Personally I love six-episode serieses, the way the BBC tends to do it. You know that (a) if the show isn't a hit, you'll at least get resolution, and (b) if the show is a hit, there will be another series, maybe several. That (a) thing is really big for me.
