Okay. I'm glad to see that Wiki Channel has a bunch of new shows and things coming out soon, but i considered this the other day and it has been brought back to my attention. We have a lot of new shows that are coming out soon that have 19 episodes or under for the first season (which is fine), but some people might think "hmm, i need an episode or two more" and this happens. SImilar to a lot of disney shows that have 13 episode pick ups and then get bumped to 19 or 21. Or how true jackson had a 20 episode second season, but nick ordered 14 more. So i was thinking we could maybe make a rule. ABC family also often does this after 10 episodes they order more.

First I think that a show should only be allowed to make a pitch for more episodes if the episode count is 20 or less. Secondly, I think that if a show wanted to get more episodes, at least 10 of the episodes have to air first. If the show has 10 episodes then it would have to be seven episodes. I also think the person should have to make a pitch, for example, say i had a new show withonly 15 episdoes, i should make a pitch explaining my possible ideas for the show and telling how many episodes i would need to fulfill those ideas. I shouldn't just ask for 6 more episodes and then a month later only 4 of them are filled. If you are going to make a request already have ideas or a possible storyline in your head you know?

Idk what do you guys think about this? we haven't had this problem yet, but it's better than someone changing their episode count when nobody is aware just because we dont have a rule? :)
