What's with all the extremely short posts over the last couple days?

Ryan, we're trying something new. This is supposed to be a supplement to the regular posts we've been doing, and we're still working out the kinks.

How can we provide feedback about it? Personally, I'm not a fan of these kinds of posts and would rather have fewer posts with more substance, especially when the short posts are nothing more than a sentence long and then an embedded video. If I wanted just videos, I'll go to Hulu or Comedy Central or wherever directly.

You just provided feedback, and thank you for that. Hopefully, as we mix these in with our regular posts, they'll seem a bit less conspicuous. Again, we're trying to work out the rhythm and spacing of when these come out.

Sounds good, and thanks for the transparency!

Um...Quality not Quantity.

This is garbage, and why is Bob the only one posting these "supplemental" post? Posting a few sentences and embedding a video hardly counts as journalism, hell it barely counts as a blog post. He can't even type enough of an article to allow the video to be posted after the break. Honestly I've seen Twitter post with more content!
Whatever changes are being made, they're not improving the quality of the site at all. Do you get some sort-of commission from Hulu for embedding videos now? That would at least explain the saturation of them lately.
This site should go back to actually providing episode reviews and worthwhile information about television related news.
Whenever something stinks around here, it's usually Bob. I know he's been with site since the beginning, but I definitely believe TV Squad would be better of without him. The only thing of worth he consistently contributes is the "What's on tonight..." feature, which is just plugging show titles into a formula.

As Joel said, we're trying a lot of shorter posts. But it's worth mentioning that these posts aren't going to replace the regular posts/reviews, they're going to be added to the posts we already do. So we'll have the usual news, reviews, features, op-eds, etc along with these short posts.

Quite honestly, I miss the reviews TVSquad used to do. Now fewer and fewer shows receive reviews, and it seems inconsistent (a show that might be reviewed one week doesn't get it the next). Also, many of them are no longer reviews and are recaps instead. (If I wanted a recap, I'd visit www.tv.com or www.televisionwithoutpity.com)
I say bring those back, and I'll be a happy camper.

I don't mind them, but too many might water down the quality on the whole.
I don't want to miss something interesting if it's been relegated to page 2, just so we could read seven bullet-posts on nothing substantial.
