This was the first thing I noticed watching an old episode of Sesame Street back to back with a new episode. The pacing of the show was too fast. The camera kept cutting, the puppet jumped from location to location, there was no time to think. And educational shows need to give the audience time to think, otherwise it's just passive entertainment.
We're all in the smartphone age today, not just the children. And we probably all feel the psychological effects of its use. (Those who use smartphones at least). So it might be that a scriptwriter from a few decades ago would feel fine with a slower pace, while a modern scriptwriter would feel the pacing was too slow when reading the same script.
The same is happening in movies. A bad story is sold with great looking explosions.
People like great stories, you don't need flashy graphics for that.
If I'm watching six in a row of course I'm going to skip it every time.
A recent example of this is Peacemaker. It is a made-for-streaming show that was on a weekly release schedule, and it has one of the most fun opening sequences I've ever seen. Watching it weekly, I watched the opening every time. But one week I skipped it so I watched two the next week, and of course I skipped it on the second episode that day
