>The real reason the townie episodes don't work isn't because they distract from the main story but because most of the townies are boring, unlikeable, or both so you don't really care about their problems
Both of these are real reasons. I don't want to watch a gorillion episodes of these boring characters while there is interesting gem stuff going. Knowing Peridot was sidelined instead of actually joining the Crystal Gems while these pointless townie episodes keep getting released is simply annoying
