I actually do prefer the BOMBS to the weekly airings..... don't get me wrong I hate the hiatuses too, but weekly airings just feel so slow. I just love waking up every morning knowing I am getting another episode that night. I agree. Bombs are really fun. But I'd rather have regular scheduling if there were less hiatuses. They cNnot do it for a number of reasons. The bombs are meant to air more episodes. If they show five episodes and go on hiatus for a month viewers have enough to hold themselves over since a month is 4-5 weeks. Steven universe isn't like a miniseries. It has a ton of episodes - 52 a season- and airing them all on a weekly basis would finish the season up in like two months. The episodes take time. It takes 9 months to make an episode (although they work on multiple at a time). So they would have to work their butts off. Even South Park in which an episode is made in such rapid time (to the point where the episode is finished like an hour or two before it airs) the creators work 16 hours a day for 6 days with little rest. But this is only for 2 months. The bombs are designed to pull people from hiatus cloud. They'll forget for a few days that Steven will go on a year long hiatus after they finish. They make more viewers since stevenbombs often have a storyline and more viewers will tune in to watch the storyline. The crew doesn't decide on airdates. It is a board of people. The crew just makes the episodes run the Twitter do interviews and suggest when things get aired and what things they can air (like a TV movie). The board goes on frequent breaks. Like Christmas it's from like October to January and summer it's like the whole season. The same applies to the crew and the cast which is why you might see Rebecca sugar working on a show other than Steven or see Estelle in another movie or tv show. They need the money and they only get paid so much due to viewership and how much of a name they got. (I'd say Estelle probably makes the most out of anybody - well besides maybe Rebecca- because she is a breakout star as garnet and a big name).
